Summation constrained force and torque at the base marker and nodal constrained force and torque at each node are reported in the Motion Postprocessor as shown in the table below.
Figure 5.78: Definition of outputs of Boundary Condition
Parameter | Symbol | Description | Dimension |
Force_on_Base_Marker (at BC) | The accumulated reacting force vector on the base marker is defined in Boundary Condition. | Force | |
- Measure_in_Base_Marker |
The accumulated reacting force vector is transformed into the reference frame of the base marker as follows:
| Force | |
Torque_on_Base_Marker (at BC) | The accumulated reacting torque vector on the base marker is defined in Boundary Condition. | Force*Length | |
- Measure_in_Base_Marker |
The accumulated reacting torque vector is transformed into the reference frame of the base marker as follows:
| Force*Length | |
Force_on_Base_Marker (at Node) | The reacting force vector on a node is defined in Boundary Condition. | Force | |
