1.	Available names are listed in the two tables above.

In the first table, TH-variables are listed. If a TH-variable is requested, this variable is written.

In the second table, other variable groups are listed. If a variable group is requested, all the associated TH-variables are written at once.

2.	Index of local modes for a flexible body is given by the order in which the modes are written in the Flexible Body Input File.

All local modes whose index lie in the range (max(1,Imin) and min(Imax, Nmod)), where Nmod is the number of local modes of the flexible body identified by fxbody_ID, will be taken into account.
