Extended Definition:

1. You use multi_point_force_name parameter to identify the existing multi_point_force to affect with this command.
You may identify a multiple point force by typing its name or by picking it from the screen.
If the multiple point force is not visible on the screen, you must type the name. You may also find it convenient to type the name even if the multiple point force is displayed.
If you created the multiple point force by reading an Adams data set or graphics file, the multiple point force name is the letters NFO followed by the Adams data set multiple point force ID number. The name of Adams NFORCE/101 is NFO101, for example. If you created the multiple point force during preprocessing, you gave it a name at that time.
If a multiple point force is available by default, you may identify it by entering its name only. If it is not, you must enter its full name. To identify a multiple point force under another model, for instance, you may need to enter the model name as well. For example, you may specify multiple point force 'FEA_element' from the model 'suspension' by entering ".suspension.FEA_element". If you type a "?", Adams View will list the multiple point forces available by default.
You must separate multiple multiple point force names by commas.
If the multiple point force is visible in one of your views, you may identify it by picking on any of the graphics associated with it.

Tips:

1. You need not separate multiple multiple point force picks by commas.
