BUSH

The BUSH function returns component comp of a force due to BUSHING/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 BUSHING. If jflag is set to 1, 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

BUSH (id, jflag, comp, rm)

Arguments

id	An integer specifying the identification number of the bushing.
jflag	An integer flag specifying the bushing 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 bushing 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=BUSH(1001,0,2,0)/
, F3=BUSH(1001,0,3,0)/
, F4=BUSH(1001,0,4,0)

This REQUEST statement stores the x-, y-, and z-component of the forces in BUSH/1001 in columns 2, 3, and 4, respectively. The forces are calculated at the I marker. The results are computed in the global coordinate system.
