Gets the specified contact or friction forces for the specified entities.

.NET Syntax

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

Parameters

NStepNumber
Solution step number at which to calculate the contact forces for non-linear and drop test studies; 1 for static studies
DispPlane
Plane, axis, or coordinate system relative to which the contact forces are calculated
ArraySelectedEntities
Array of entities for which to calculate contact forces
NForceType

Type of contact force as defined in swsNForceType_e

NUnits

Units as defined in swsUnit_e

ErrorCode

Error as defined in swsResultsError_e

Return Value

Array of four doubles of the contact forces for all selections in ArraySelectedEntities:

  1. Summation of x-components of contact forces
  2. Summation of y-components of contact forces
  3. Summation of z-components of contact forces
  4. Resultant contact force
