FM

The FM function computes the magnitude of the resultant translational force acting at marker I (obtained by vector summation), due to all applied forces and constraints that act between marker I and marker J.

Format

FM(I, J)

Description

Markers I and J must be specified.

Arguments

I
The marker at which the resultant force is to be computed.
J
The second marker such that all forces between markers I and J are to be summed up at the marker I location.
