Function GetContactForcesAndFriction( _
   ByVal NStepNumber As Integer, _
   ByVal DispPlane As Object, _
   ByVal DispArray As Object, _
   ByVal NForceType As Integer, _

Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As ICWResults
Dim NStepNumber As Integer
Dim DispPlane As Object
Dim DispArray As Object
Dim NForceType As Integer
Dim NUnits As Integer
Dim ErrorCode As Integer
Dim value As Object
 
value = instance.GetContactForcesAndFriction(NStepNumber, DispPlane, DispArray, NForceType, NUnits, ErrorCode)
C# 
object GetContactForcesAndFriction( 
   int NStepNumber,
   object DispPlane,
   object DispArray,
   int NForceType,
   int NUnits,
   out int ErrorCode
)
C++/CLI 
Object^ GetContactForcesAndFriction( 
&   int NStepNumber,
&   Object^ DispPlane,
&   Object^ DispArray,
&   int NForceType,
&   int NUnits,
&   [Out] int ErrorCode

Parameters

NStepNumber
Solution step number at which you want to list the contact/friction force; available only with nonlinear and drop-test studies
DispPlane
Reference entity (plane, axis, or coordinate system)
DispArray
Array of faces, edges, or vertices
NForceType

Type of force:

  • 0 = Normal
  • 1 = Friction
  • 2 = Total
NUnits
Units as defined in swsUnit_e
ErrorCode

Error as defined in swsResultsError_e

Return Value
