*ActionReactionForce() - line of action
Creates an action-reaction translational force acting along the line joining the points of action and reaction.
Syntax
*ActionReactionForce (force_name, "force_label", LOA, body_1, body_2, point_1, point_2)
Arguments
- force_name
- The variable name of the action-reaction force of type LOA.
- force_label
- The descriptive label of the action-reaction force of type LOA.
- LOA
- This argument indicates the action-reaction translational force acts along the line joining point_1 and point_2 .
- body_1
- The body to which the active force is applied.
- body_2
- The body to which the reactive force is applied.
- point_1
- The point on body_1 at which the action force is applied.
- point_2
- The point on body_2 at which the reaction force is applied.
Example
*Point(p_jnc_frame, "Jounce bumper pt on frame")
*Point(p_jnc_axle, "Jounce bumper pt on axle")
*Body(b_axle, "Axle", p_axle_cg)
*Body(b_frame, "Frame", p_frame_cg)
*ActionReactionForce(frc_bmp, "Jounce bumper force", LOA, b_axle, b_frame, p_jnc_axle, p_jnc_frame)
Context
Properties
Property | Returns Data Type | Description |
---|---|---|
b1 | Body | Body to which the force is applied. |
b2 | Body | Body to which the reactive force is applied. |
f | real | A number, MDL expression, or solver expression that determines the value of the force. |
i | Marker | Marker attached to b1. |
j | Marker | Marker attached to b2. |
label | string | The descriptive label of the action-reaction force. |
state | boolean | Control state (TRUE or FALSE). |
varname | string | The variable name of the action-reaction force. |
id | long integer | The solver ID of the action-reaction force. |
Comments
*ActionReactionForce() of type LOA is used to apply action-reaction forces on two bodies along the line joining the two points at which the action and reaction forces are applied.
