wall.force.contact

Syntax

Vector Access

v = wall.force.contact(w<,i>)

Get the sum of all contact forces acting on a wall. The resultant force is expressed in the global coordinate system.

Returns:

v - wall contact force vector or component
Arguments:

w - wall pointer

i - optional vector component

Component Access

f = wall.force.contact.x(w)

Get the x-component of the wall contact force.

Returns:f - x-component of the wall contact force vector
Arguments:w - wall pointer
f = wall.force.contact.y(w)

Get the y-component of the wall contact force.

Returns:f - y-component of the wall contact force vector
Arguments:w - wall pointer
f = wall.force.contact.z(w) (3D ONLY)

Get the z-component of the wall contact force.

Returns:f - z-component of the wall contact force vector
Arguments:w - wall pointer
