*SetForce() - symmetric single component rotation

Sets the value for a symmetric single component rotational action-reaction force pair.

Syntax

*SetForce(force_name, LEFT|RIGHT, LIN, value,)

Arguments

force_name
The variable name of an existing SC_ROT action-reaction force pair.
Data type: varname
LEFT RIGHT
If LEFT is specified, the properties are assigned to the left force, and the right force properties are made symmetric to the left force.
If RIGHT is specified, the properties are assigned to the right force, and the left force properties are made symmetric to the right force.
LIN
Keyword suggesting that a linear value is used to specify the force value. With symmetry, only LIN is valid.
Data type: keyword
value
Numbers or MDL expressions that determine the values of the rotational force about the X, Y, and Z axis of the specified side of the force pair.

Example
