*SetForce() - symmetric line of action

Sets the value for a symmetric line of action action-reaction force pair.

Syntax

*SetForce(force_name, LEFT|RIGHT, LIN, value,)

Arguments

force_name: The variable name of an existing LOA action-reaction force pair.; Data type: varname
LEFT RIGHT: If LEFT is specified, the properties are assigned to the left force, and the right force properties are made symmetric to the left force.; If RIGHT is specified, the properties are assigned to the right force, and the left force properties are made symmetric to the right force.; Data type: keyword
LIN: Keyword suggesting that a linear value is used to specify the force value. With symmetry, only LIN is valid.; Data type: keyword
Value: The value of the linear force.; Data type: real

Example

*Body(b_frame, "Frame Body")
*PointPair(p_jnc_frame, "Jounce bumper pt. on frame")
*BodyPair(b_uca, "upper control arm")
*ActionReactionForcePair(frc_jnc_bmp, 
 "Jounce Bumper Force", 
 LOA, 
 b_frame, 
 b_uca, 
 p_jnc_frame, 
 p_jnc_uca)
*PointPair(p_jnc_uca, "Jounce bumper pt. on UCA")
*SetForce(force_jnc_bmp, LEFT, LIN, ds.real1.value + ds.real2.value)
