| STEP 3: | Open the Force-Data Dialog-box to select a kinematic-element. |
| STEP 4: | Select which Point in the kinematic-element - equivalent to Action and Reaction Forces. |
The force-data at the Force-Data FB output-connector is the force that acts on the kinematic-element through the Point.
If the kinematic-element is a , the force-data is the Load Torque to balance the kinematic-chain.
| STEP 5: | Connect a wire from its output-connector to plot the Force-Data over a complete machine-cycle. |
