NFORCE

Returns force component "comp" acting on marker "i" due to Force_MultiPoint element with ID "id", in reference frame of marker "RM".

Format

NFORCE(id, i, comp, RM)

Arguments

id

The ID of the beam element.

i

The ID of the marker at which forces are to be reported.

comp

1: returns the force magnitude.
2: returns the force x component.
3: returns the force y component.
4: returns the force z component.
5: returns the torque magnitude.
6: returns the torque x component.
7: returns the torque y component.
8: returns the torque z component.

RM

The reference frame in which components are reported. RM=0 implies global frame.
