rblock.force.unbal

Syntax

Vector Access

v = rblock.force.unbal(p<,i>)

Get the rigid block unbalanced force.

The unbalanced force vector is defined as the sum of the contact force vectors, the applied force vector, and gravity loading.

Returns:

v - rigid block unbalanced force vector or component
Arguments:

p - rigid block pointer

i - optional vector component

Component Access

f = rblock.force.unbal.x(p)

Get the x-component of the rigid block unbalanced force.

Returns:f - x-component of the rigid block unbalanced force vector
Arguments:p - rigid block pointer
f = rblock.force.unbal.y(p)

Get the y-component of the rigid block unbalanced force.

Returns:f - y-component of the rigid block unbalanced force vector
Arguments:p - rigid block pointer
f = rblock.force.unbal.z(p) (3D ONLY)

Get the z-component of the rigid block unbalanced force.

Returns:f - z-component of the rigid block unbalanced force vector
Arguments:p - rigid block pointer
