Nodal Force

 

The user can apply user’s experimental solutions on the Sheet by using Nodal Force. For example, the following forces can be installed on the media transport system.

     An attraction force between the belt and the sheet due to vacuum

     An electrostatic attraction between papers and rollers

     An air resistance force of papers

     The user should know that returned forces of a nodal force would be:

     Calculated in the Inertia reference frame

     Applied on the center point of each nodal mass

 

Also, the forces will be reacted on the ground. The user can program a user-written subroutine with one of C/C++ or Fortran languages.
