FM(I, J)

Description

The FM function computes the magnitude of the resultant translational force acting at marker I (obtained by vector summation), due to all applied forces and constraints that act between marker I and marker J. Markers I and J must be specified.

Example

    comment             = "LINSPL-iord 0-1-2 FM-TM-MODE"

    id                  = "4"

    expr3               = "LINSPL(TIME,0.0,301001,1)"

    expr4               = "LINSPL(TIME,0.0,301001,2)"

    expr5               = "NULL"

    expr6               = "FM(30102012,30101012)"

    expr7               = "TM(30102012,30101012)"

    expr8               = "IF(MODE-4:1,2,3)"

Arguments

I

The marker at which the resultant force is to be computed.

J

The second marker such that all forces between markers I and J are to be summed up at the marker I location.
