SCALE/FORCE drop-down menu

Use the drop-down menu to select SCALE if the value returned by the subroutine is a scale value.  Select FORCE if the value returned by the subroutine is the force value.

User expr

Provide an expression with the USER solver function with parameters being passed to the user subroutine.

Function Type

Valid options for MotionSolve:

DLL/SO
Python
Matlab

For the Adams solver, only the DLL/SO is valid.

Use local file and function name

Activate the check box to specify a local file where the subroutine code can be accessed by the solver.  The type of file to be specified will depend on the selected Function Type.  For example if DLL/SO is selected, you can specify a file with a .dll extension (for Windows) or an .so extension (for Linux).

Function name

Specify the function name in the sub-routine that is used to read the spline data.  MotionView provides MFOSUB as the default, which is the default function used by MotionSolve and Adams.
