*ActionReactionForcePair() - line of action
Creates an action-reaction translational force pair acting along the line joining the points of action and reaction.
Syntax
*ActionReactionForcePair (force_name, "force_label", LOA, body_1, body_2, point_1, point_2)
Arguments
- force_name
- The variable name of the action-reaction force pair.
- force_label
- The descriptive label of the action-reaction force pair.
- LOA
- This argument indicates the action-reaction translational force pair acts along the line joining point_1 and point_2 .
- body_1
- The body or body pair to which the active force pair is applied.
- body_2
- The body or body pair to which the reactive force pair is applied.
- point_1
- The point or point pair on body_1 at which the action force pair is applied.
- point_2
- The point or point pair on body_2 at which the reaction force pair is applied.
Example
*PointPair(p_jnc_frame, "Jounce bumper pt on frame")
*PointPair(p_jnc_axle, "Jounce bumper pt on axle")
*Body(b_axle, "Axle", p_axle_cg)
*Body(b_frame, "Frame", p_frame_cg)
*ActionReactionForcePair(frc_bmp, "Jounce bumper force", LOA, b_axle, b_frame, p_jnc_axle, p_jnc_frame)

i | MarkerPair | The marker attached to b1. |
j | MarkerPair | The marker attached to b2. |
l | ActionReactionForce | Left force. |
label | string | The descriptive label of the action-reaction force pair. |

varname | string | The variable name of the action-reaction force pair. |
Comments
*ActionReactionForcePair() of type LOA is used to apply action-reaction force pairs on two bodies or body pairs along the line joining two points at which action and reaction forces are applied.
The individual forces of an *ActionReactionForcePair() can be referred to as force_name.l (left force) and force_name.r (right force).
