JPRIM

JThe JPRIM function returns component comp of a force due to JPRIM/id as calculated in the coordinate system of marker rm. If jflag is set to zero, the value returned is the force/torque acting on the I marker of the JPRIM. If jflag is set to one, the value returned is that acting on the J marker. rm may be specified as zero if the results are desired in the global coordinate system.

Format

JPRIM (id, jflag, comp, rm)

Arguments

 

id	An integer specifying the identification number of the JPRIM.
jflag	An integer flag specifying the JPRIM connectivity marker at which the forces and torques are computed. 0 = forces and moments at the I marker 1 = forces and moment at the J marker
comp	An integer value that specifies the component of the JPRIM force to be returned. 1 = Magnitude of the force 2 = x component of the force 3 = y component of the force 4 = z component of the force 5 = Magnitude of the torque 6 = x component of the torque 7 = y component of the torque 8 = z component of the torque
rm	The coordinate system in which the results are expressed. To return the results in the global coordinate system, set rm = 0.

Examples

REQUEST/1
, F2=JPRIM(212,1,8,346)

In its second column, this REQUEST statement stores the z component of the torque acting at the J marker of JPRIM 212. The torque component is calculated in the coordinate system of Marker 346.
