Hi all! I am trying to access parameters (stiffness, friction, etc) from model files in Matlab, but I am having a hard time figuring out what functions I have available to use to access these parameters. Here are a few things I have tried:

Code: Select all

>> Model1.getForceSet().get(25)

ans =

index_plane

Code: Select all

>> Model1.getForceSet().get(25).getPropertyByIndex(1)

ans =

ElasticFoundationForce::ContactParametersSet

Section of code I am trying to access:

Any help with how to access these parameters would be greatly appreciated!

You can get the force object and access its parameters through the get/set functions:

Code: Select all

force = ElasticFoundationForce.safeDownCast(Model1.getForceSet().get(25))

Code: Select all

    double getStiffness() 
    void setStiffness(double stiffness) 
    double getDissipation() 
    void setDissipation(double dissipation)
    double getStaticFriction() 
    void setStaticFriction(double friction)
    double getDynamicFriction() 
    void setDynamicFriction(double friction)
    double getViscousFriction() 
    void setViscousFriction(double friction)
