*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

*Body(b_frame, "Frame Body")
*PointPair(p_diff, "Jounce bumper pt. on frame")
*BodyPair(b_diff, "Differential")
*ActionReactionForce (frc_rot, 
 "Drive Toruw", 
 SC_ROT, 
 b_frame, 
 b_diff, 
 p_diff, 
 VECTOR, b_diff.cm.zaxis)
*SetForce(force_rot, LEFT, LIN, ds.real1.value + ds.real2.value)
