Format
Arguments definition
|
Spring entity |
The name or argument number for the spring 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 the 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
SPRING (SPRING1, 0, 1, Ground.InertiaMarker)
SPRING (1, 0, 1, 2) <Argument: (1) SPRING1, (2) Ground.InertiaMarker >
