FunctionsDescription
ACCM(E1,{E2})DefinitionThe magnitude of the relative acceleration between markers.
Input (E1,E2)E1 and E2 are the names or argument ids of action and base markers.
Return Value

The magnitude of the vector is returned.

ExampleACCM(#1), ACCM(#1,#2)
ACCX(E1,{E2},{E3})DefinitionThe x component of the relative acceleration between markers.
Input (E1,E2, E3)E1, E2 and E3 are the names or argument ids of action, base and reference markers.
Return Value

The x component of the vector is returned.

ExampleACCX(#1), ACCX(#1,#2), ACCX(#1,#2,#2), ACCX(#1,#2,#3)
