panel set twindow_function torque_vector
The TORQUE_VECTOR function returns a force COMPONENT for the TORQUE_VECTOR you identify in the TORQUE_VECTOR_NAME
Format:
panel set twindow_function torque_vector |
|---|
torque_vector_name= | an existing vtorque |
return_value_on_marker= | marker_type |
component= | all_components |
reference_marker= | an existing marker |
Example:
panel set twindow_function torque_vector & |

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 |
|---|
torque_vector_name | An Existing Vtorque | Specifies an existing torque_vector. |
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 torque vector by typing its name or by picking it from the screen.
If the torque vector is not visible on the screen, you must type the name. You may also find it convenient to type the name even if the torque vector is displayed.
If you created the torque vector by reading an Adams data set or graphics file, the torque vector name is the letters VTO followed by the Adams data set torque vector ID number. The name of Adams VTORQUE/101 is VTO101, for example. If you created the torque vector during preprocessing, you gave it a name at that time.
If a torque vector 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 torque vector under another model, for instance, you may need to enter the model name as well. For example, you may specify torque vector 'spring' from the model 'suspension' by entering ".suspension.spring". If you type a "?", Adams View will list the torque vector available by default.
You must separate multiple torque vector names by commas.
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. If the REFERENCE_MARKER is not specified the results are with respect to the ground coordinate system.
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.
Tips:
1. If the torque vector is visible in one of your views, you may identify it by picking on any of the graphics associated with it.
2. You need not separate multiple torque vector picks by commas.
panel set twindow_function tx
The TX function returns the x-component of the net torque acting at the I_MARKER (i1), as computed in the coordinate system of the R_MARKER (i3). All force elements acting between the I_ and J_MARKERs (i1 and i2) are included in the calculation of the torque, unless the force element is an action-only type of force. The user should omit specification of the J_MARKER (i2) and the R_MARKER (i3), or specify it as zero to find the x-component of an action-only torque element acting at the I_MARKER (i1).

panel set twindow_function tx |

j_marker_name= | existing marker |

Example:
panel set twindow_function tx & |

j_marker_name = | marker_6 & |
r_marker_name = | cm |
Description:
Parameter | Value Type | Description |
|---|
I_marker_name | Existing Marker | Specifies an existing marker used as the I_MARKER (i1) in the evaluation of the function. |
J_marker_name | Existing Marker | Specifies an existing marker used as the J_MARKER (i2) in the evaluation of the function. |
R_marker_name | Existing Marker | Specifies the marker used as the R_MARKER (i3) with respect to which you want Adams to evaluate the function. If you do not supply this parameter, Adams will evaluate the function in the ground reference frame. |

If the marker is not visible on the screen, you must type the name.
You may also find it convenient to type the name even if the marker is displayed.
If you created the marker by reading an Adams data set or graphics file, the marker name is the letters MAR followed by the Adams data set marker ID number. For example, the name of Adams MARKER/101 is MAR101. If you created the marker during preprocessing, you will have given it a name at that time.
If a marker is available by default, you may identify it by entering only its name. If it is not, you must enter its full name. To identify a marker under a different part, for instance, you may need to enter the model and part names as well. For example, you may specify marker 'pivot' from model 'links', part 'lower_arm' by entering ".links.lower_arm.pivot". If you type a "?", Adams View will list the markers available by default.
You must separate multiple marker names by commas.
If the marker is visible in one of your views, you may identify it by picking on it.
You need not separate multiple marker picks by commas.
