The PTCV function returns the reaction force of a point to curve joint entity.
Format
Arguments definition
PTCV entity |
The name or argument number for the PTCV entity to be measured |
Flag |
A value that specifies the body to which the output load is applied • If the flag value is 0, then the force applied to the action marker (body) is returned. • If the flag value is 1, then force applied to the base marker (body) is returned. |
Component |
The components subject to the returned force • One component can be inserted in line with 6 numbered powers and sizes (1: FM, 2:FX, 3:FY, 4:FZ, 5:TM, 6:TX, 7:TY, 8:TZ). |
RMarker |
The name or argument number of the standard marker for the direction in which the force is measured |
Example
PTCV(PTCV1, 0, 1, Ground.InertiaMarker)
PTCV(1, 0, 1, 2) <Argument: (1) PTCV1, (2) Ground.InertiaMarker >
