28.5. Special Outputs

RecurDyn/Track LM automates the generation of relevant outputs for a track system, saving the user valuable time converting the general outputs into data needed to design or analyze his system. The following table summarizes the custom outputs for RecurDyn/Track LM.

Group				Outputs
Track-Body	TrackLink#		Pos_	Position and 3-1-3 euler angles of a Track Link’s center marker in the inertia reference frame.
			Vel_	Velocity of a Track Link’s center marker. The translational velocity is measured in the inertia reference frame. The angular velocity is measured in its center marker.
			Acc_	Acceleration of a Track Link’s center marker. The translational acceleration is measured in the inertia reference frame. The angular acceleration is measured in its center marker.
Track-Force	Link	Link#	_Roller	Contact Forces between a Wheel and a Track Link. The x, y and z components of the translational force generalized at the center marker of the Track Link due to the contact force acting on the contact point of the Track Link in its center marker.
			_Sprocket	Contact Forces between a Sprocket and a Track Link. The x, y and z components of the translational force generalized at the center marker of the Track Link due to the contact force acting on the contact point of the Track Link in its center marker.
			_Ground	Contact Forces between a Ground and a Track Link. The x, y and z components of the translational force generalized at the center marker of the Track Link due to the contact force acting on the contact point of the Track Link in its center marker.
			_RGuard	Contact Forces between a Roller Guard and a Track Link. The x, y and z components of the translational force generalized at the center marker of the Track Link due to the contact force acting on the contact point of the Track Link in its center marker.
			BushingTension	Tension generated in a Track Link.
			_Sphere	Contact Forces between a Sphere and a Track Link. The x, y and z components of the translational force generalized at the center marker of the Track Link due to the contact force acting on the contact point of the Track Link in its center marker.
