CVCV

Returns force component due to CVCV element in reference frame of marker RM.

Format

CVCV(id, jflag, comp, RM)

Description

jflag indicates whether force acting on IFLOAT or JFLOAT marker is desired.

Arguments

id

The ID of the CVCV element.

jflag

0 returns force acting on IFLOAT marker.

1 returns force acting on JFLOAT marker.

component

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.

Example

<Post_Request
   comment  = "frc-expr"
   id       = "45"
   type     = "EXPRESSION"
   expr1    = "CVCV(10,0,1, 20)"
   expr2    = "CVCV(10,0,2, 20)"
   expr3    = "CVCV(10,0,3, 20)"
   expr4    = "CVCV(10,0,4, 20)"
   expr5    = "CVCV(10,0,5, 20)"
   expr6    = "CVCV(10,0,6, 20)"
   expr7    = "CVCV(10,0,7, 20)"
   expr8    = "CVCV(10,0,8, 20)"
