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.
