*ActionReactionForcePair() - single component rotation
Creates a single component action-reaction rotational force (torque) pair acting about the given axis.
Syntax
*ActionReactionForcePair(force_name, "force_label", SC_ROT, body_1, body_2, point_1, {POINT VECTOR}, {point_2 vector_2)
Arguments
- force_name
- The variable name of the action-reaction force pair.
- force_label
- The descriptive label of the action-reaction force pair.
- SC_ROT
- This argument indicates the action-reaction rotational force pair acts about the line joining point_1 and point_2 or about vector_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 used for defining the rotational axis.
- POINT | VECTOR
- A keyword that indicates the alignment method.
- point_2 | vector_2
- An entity variable referring to a Point, PointPair, Vector, or VectorPair which is based on the above keyword.
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", SC_ROT, b_axle, b_frame, p_jnc_axle, POINT, p_jnc_frame)
Context
Properties
Property | Returns Data Type | Description |
---|---|---|

b2 | BodyPair | Body pair to which the reactive force pair is applied. |
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. |
r | ActionReactionForce | Right force. |
state | boolean | Control state (TRUE or FALSE). |
varname | string | The variable name of the action-reaction force pair. |
Comments
*ActionReactionForcePair() of type SC_ROT is used to apply action-reaction force pairs on two bodies or body pairs about the line joining two points or about a given vector.
The individual forces of an *ActionReactionForcePair() can be referred to as force_name.l (left force) and force_name.r (right force).
