ball list command

Syntax

ball list <keyword> <range>

Primary keywords:

attribute    contact    extra    group    property    result

List ball information. By default, the ball ID, radius, active/total contact count, fixity, and position are listed. Use the attribute keyword to list all ball attributes that can be listed.

Note

Use the model precision command to change the precision of listed floating point values.

attribute <keyword>

List ball attributes. If no keyword is given, then the available attributes are listed. If a keyword is specified, then the value of that attribute is listed for each ball.

Attributes are characteristics of balls such as mass and velocity. These are distinct from properties that represent surface conditions and are used in contact models to delineate interactions.

contact <all>

List the contacts with a ball. The contact ID, ID of the other contacting piece, contact type, activity state, inhibited state, and contact model are listed. By default, only active contacts are listed. Use the all keyword to list active and inactive contacts.

extra i

List the extra variables at index i.

group s

List the group names at slot s.

property <s >

List ball properties. If no s is given, then the available properties are listed for each ball. If s is specified, then the value of that property is listed for each ball.

Properties represent surface conditions and are used in contact models to delineate interactions. These are distinct from attributes that are characteristics of balls such as mass and velocity.

result

List the ball model results that have been tabulated. See the ball results command for further details.
