Sum of Torques Magnitude (TM)
Returns the magnitude of the net torque acting at one coordinate system marker due to all applied torques and constraints acting between that coordinate system marker and another.
Format
TM (Applied To Marker, Applied From Marker)
Arguments
Applied To Marker | (Required) Measure the sum of all torques applied to this coordinate system marker. |
Applied From Marker | (Optional) Measure the sum of all torques applied from this coordinate system marker. If you don't specify this argument, it returns the magnitude of the sum of all torques at the Applied To Marker due to action-only torque acting at the Applied To Marker. |
Equation
Mathematically, TM is calculated as follows:
where:
is the sum of all applied and constraint torques involving both the Applied To Marker, T, and the Applied From Marker, F.Example
The following function returns the magnitude of the sum of all torques acting at marker_T. All torques acting between marker_T and marker_F are included in this calculation.
Function | TM(marker_T, marker_F) |
Result | 13.19 |
