GFORCE

This function returns the specified component of the force applied by the Force_Vector_TwoBody or Force_Vector_OneBody element.

Format

GFORCE(id, jflag, comp, RM)

Arguments

id: The ID of the Force_Vector_TwoBody or Force_Vector_OneBody 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 the components are reported.; RM=0 implies the global frame.
