MATE

Returns constraint force component comp, associated with Constraint_Mate with the ID id, calculated in the reference frame of marker RM.

Format

MATE(id, jflag, comp, RM)

Arguments

id
The ID of the Constraint_Mate element.
jflag
0 returns force acting on the I marker.
1 returns force acting on the J marker.
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.
