panel set twindow_function single_component_force
The SINGLE_COMPONENT_FORCE function returns the force COMPONENT for the SINGLE_COMPONENT_FORCE you identify in the SINGLE_COMPONENT_FORCE_NAME parameter.
Format:
panel set twindow_function single_component_force |
|---|
single_component_force_name= | an existing single-component force |
return_value_on_marker= | marker_type |
component= | all_components |
reference_marker= | an existing marker |
Example:
panel set twindow_function single_component_force & |
|---|
panel set twindow_function single_component_force single_component_force_name = | sforce & |
panel set twindow_function single_component_force return_value_on_marker = | i & |
panel set twindow_function single_component_force component = | fx & |
panel set twindow_function single_component_force reference_marker = | marker_84 |
Description:
Parameter | Value Type | Description |
|---|
single_component_force_name | An Existing Single-component Force | Specifies an existing single_component_force. |
return_value_on_marker | Marker_type | Specifies for which marker on the force element (i or j) the function will return force values |
component | All_components | Specifies the specific COMPONENT of force or torque that the function is to return for the force element. |
reference_marker | An Existing Marker | Specifies a marker that provides a reference coordinate system for the function. |
Extended Definition:
1. The force or torque is calculated in the coordinate system of the REFERENCE_MARKER. If the RETURN_VALUE_ON_MARKER parameter is set to "i", the value returned is the force or torque acting on the I_MARKER of the force/torque generating element. If RETURN_VALUE_ON_MARKER parameter is set to "j", the value returned is that acting on the J_MARKER. If the REFERENCE_MARKER is not specified the results are with respect to the ground coordinate system.
2. You may identify a single-component force by typing its name or by picking it from the screen.
If the single-component 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 single-component force is displayed.
If you created the single-component force by reading an Adams data set or graphics file, the single-component force name is the letters SFO followed by the Adams data set single-component force ID number. The name of Adams SFORCE/101 is SFO101, for example. If you created the single-component force during preprocessing, you gave it a name at that time.
If a single-component 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 single-component force under another model, for instance, you may need to enter the model name as well. For example, you may specify single-component force 'spring' from the model 'suspension' by entering ".suspension.spring". If you type a "?", Adams View will list the single-component forces available by default.
You must separate multiple single-component force names by commas.
If the single-component force is visible in one of your views, you may identify it by picking on any of the graphics associated with it.
3. The force or torque is calculated in the coordinate system of the REFERENCE_MARKER. If the RETURN_VALUE_ON_MARKER parameter is set to "i", the value returned is the force or torque acting on the I_MARKER of the force/torque generating element. If RETURN_VALUE_ON_MARKER parameter is set to "j", the value returned is that acting on the J_MARKER. If the REFERENCE_MARKER is not specified the results are with respec to the ground coordinate system.
4. The value for the COMPONENT parameter is one of fm, fx, fy, fz, tm, tx, ty, or tz.
The force or torque is calculated in the coordinate system of the REFERENCE_MARKER. If the RETURN_VALUE_ON_MARKER parameter is set to "i", the value returned is the force or torque acting on the I_MARKER of the force/torque generating element. If RETURN_VALUE_ON_MARKER parameter is set to "j", the value returned is that acting on the J_MARKER.
5. The force or torque is calculated in the coordinate system of the REFERENCE_MARKER. If the REFERENCE_MARKER is not specified the results are with respect to the ground coordinate system.
Cautions:
1. If the REFERENCE_MARKER is not specified the results are with respect to the ground coordinate system.
Tips:
1. You need not separate multiple single-component force picks by commas.
