panel set twindow_function ty
The TY function returns the y-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. You should omit specification of the J_MARKER (i2) and the R_MARKER (i3), to find the y-component of an action-only torque element acting at the I_MARKER (i1).

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. |
Extended Definition:
1. You may identify a marker by typing its name or by picking it from the screen.
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.
