Sum of Torques About Y (TY)

Returns a y component of the net torque acting at one coordinate system marker due to all applied torques and constraints acting between that coordinate system marker and another.

Format

TY (Applied To Marker, Applied From Marker, About Marker)

Arguments

 

Applied To Marker	(Required) Measure the sum of all torques applied to this coordinate system marker.
Applied From Marker	(Optional) Measure the sum of all torques applied from this coordinate system marker. If you don't specify this argument, it returns the x component of all the action-only single-component torques acting at the Applied To Marker.
About Marker	(Optional) Measure the sum of all torques about the y-axis of this coordinate system marker. If you don't specify this argument, it defaults to the global coordinate system.

symbol

Mathematically, TY is calculated as follows:

where:  

•	is the sum of all applied and constraint torques involving both the Applied To Marker, T, and the Applied From Marker, F.

•	is the y-axis of the About Marker, A.

Examples

The following function returns the y component of the sum of all torques acting at marker_T. All torques acting between marker_T and marker_F are included in this calculation.

 

Function	TY(marker_T, marker_F, marker_A)
Result	7.2
