To request summary output of the angle between two elements.
Refer to Angles Output for further information on this feature.
A block of lines as follows:
[TITLE=Title Name]
[SCALE=Scale Factor] [, UNITS=Unit]
[PLOT=Plot Option]
DATA1=Element 1 (Number or Label)
DATA2=Element 2 (Number or Label)
Title Name defaults to blank. Scale Factor defaults to 1. The Unit entry is described in Note (b). Plot Option can be YES or NO (the default). If you specify an element label rather than an element number, it must be enclosed in {} brackets.
Input: |
Description |
Element 1: |
The first element (number or label). If you specify an element label rather than an element number, it must be enclosed in {} brackets. |
Element 2: |
The second element (number or label). If you specify an element label rather than an element number, it must be enclosed in {} brackets. |
Title: |
A descriptive title to be associated with the output. This entry is optional. |
Scale: |
A scale factor to apply to the data. This entry is optional, and defaults to a value of 1. |
Unit: |
The units to be used for the output. This entry is optional, and defaults to the base units for this output type. See Note (b). |
Plot: |
This option allows you to request a timetrace plot, in addition to the summary output. By default, no plot is created. |
(a) The units entry explicitly specifies what units are to be assigned to the output. This entry is optional, and if omitted, Flexcom simply assigns suitable units depending on the base units for the particular output type. If you do explicitly specify a unit, then it must be consistent with the dimension of the output type. For example, force can be specified in Newtons, Kips etc. The program is quite flexible in terms of accepting unit descriptions – e.g. Newtons, Newton, N etc. are all equally valid.
