*SetForce() - line of action for command sets

Creates a set force.

Syntax

*SetForce(force, f)

Arguments

force
The variable name of the set force.
Type: varname
f
A number, MDL expressions, or solver expressions that determine the value of the force.
Type: real or string

Example

*BeginMDL(the_model, "Example model")
*Analysis(the_analysis, "The analysis", andef)
*DefineAnalysis(andef)
  *ActionOnlyForcePair(frc_0, "Force 0", TRANS, B_Ground, 
                       P_Global_Origin, 
                       Global_Frame)
  *SetForce(f1, 30.0)
  *SetForce(f2, ds.real1.value + ds.real2.value)
  *SetForce(f3, ‘100.0*DM({f3.i.id, %d}, {f3.j.id, %d})‘)
  *CommandSet(the_commandset, "Simple command set", evdef, frc_0, tpl_begin, tpl_end)
  *Template(tpl_begin, "Begin template", USER, tpldef_commandset_begin)
  *Template(tpl_end, "End template", USER, tpldef_commandset_end)
  *Template(tpl_superfluous, "Should be ignored", ACF, tpldef_commandset_begin)
*EndDefine()
*DefineCommandSet(evdef, local_frc_0, local_tpl_begin, local_tpl_end)
  *Write(local_tpl_begin)
  *SetForce(f1, 20.0)
  *SetForce(f2, ds.real1.value + ds.real2.value)
  *SetForce(f3, ‘200.0*DM({f3.i.id, %d}, {f3.j.id, %d})‘)
  *Write(local_tpl_end)
*EndDefine()
*DefineTemplate(tpldef_commandset_begin)
{AbsToRelative(Solver_File_basename.path, Solver_File_basename.value + 
".adm")}
PREFERENCES/SIMFAIL=STOPCF
*EndDefine()
*DefineTemplate(tpldef_commandset_end)
STOP
*EndDefine()
*EndMDL()

Context

*BeginMDL()

*DefineCommandSet()

Comments

This statement is similar to the *SetForce() statement for a model except that it sets the force or forcepair contents within the solver command file.
