This function returns the specified component of the force applied by the Force_Scalar_TwoBody element.

Format

SFORCE(id, jflag, comp, RM)

Arguments

id

The ID of the Force_Scalar_TwoBody element.

jflag

jflag equal to 0 or 1 means that forces and moments are reported at the I or J marker, respectively.

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.
