Arguments

id

The ID of the beam element.

i

The ID of the marker at which forces are to be reported.

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.
