The magnitude of the translational force is calculated according to the following equations:

 

Where, the inputs into the equation are defined in the following table:

X Axis Specified Force

Enter the specified force to the x-axis with respect to the reference marker.

Y Axis Specified Force

Enter the specified force to the y-axis with respect to the reference marker.

Z Axis Specified Force

Enter the specified force to the z-axis with respect to the reference marker.

X Axis Reference Marker

The x-axis direction of reference marker

Y Axis Reference Marker

The y-axis direction of reference marker

Z Axis Reference Marker

The z-axis direction of reference marker

 

     Type: Select a type of expression as Standard Translational Force or User Subroutine Translational Force.

    Standard Translational Force: Defines by using the function expression.

    User Subroutine Translational Force: Defines by using the user subroutine. For more information, click Translational Force USUB.

     Expression: Creating an expression of a force. If the user defines the expression, the substance of expression is shown in the text box.

     Reference Marker: The force and torque are specified in the coordinate system of reference marker.

     Force Display: Displays the resultant force vector graphically on Working Window. For more information, click here.
