*SetForce() - translational for command sets

Syntax

*SetForce(force, fx, fy, fz)

Arguments

force: The variable name of the set force.; Type: varname
fx, fy, fz: Numbers, MDL expressions, or solver expressions that determine the values of the translational X, Y, and Z components of the force.; Type: real or string

Context

*BeginMDL()

*DefineCommandSet()

Comments

This statement is similar to the *SetForce() statement for a model except that it sets the force contents within the solver command file.
