Purpose

To provide advanced Flexcom users with the ability to define custom code for increased modelling flexibility. This feature is intended for advanced applications, facilitating customised solutions to cater for situations where the standard modelling options do not completely cover user requirements. This option allows you, for example, to directly augment the global force vector to simulate an arbitrary time-varying load.
