WDTM

 

The WDTM function returns the absolute value for the angular acceleration of one marker or the relative angular acceleration between two markers.

 

Format

 

Arguments definition

Marker1

The name or argument number of a marker to be calculated

Marker2

The name or argument number of the comparison marker for a relative calculation

     If omitted, then the InertiaMarker is applied.

Marker3

A standard marker for calculating angular acceleration

     This formula measures angular acceleration relative to Marker3’s angular acceleration.

     Marker3 must be the same value as Marker2. If omitted, then the InertiaMarker is applied.

 

Formulation

: Angular acceleration vector of Marker1 relative to the angular velocity and angular acceleration of Marker3

: Angular acceleration vector of Marker2 relative to the angular velocity and angular acceleration of Marker3

 

Example

WDTM (body1.Marker1)

WDTM (body1.Marker1, body2.Marker2)

WDTM (body1.Marker1, body2.Marker2, body2.Marker2)

WDTM (1,2,2) <Argument (1)body1.Marker1, (2)body2.Marker2>
