Remarks

When a motor's state is set to external, IMotionStudy MotorTimeStepChangeNotify and MotorOutputTimeStepChangeNotify events are called with the motor name, time, and a pointer for the return value. These events are called at every major step from ADAMS. You can implement any motion law after catching these events. The return value for each event is a double that specifies the new motor speed.
