Interface IForceShot

Namespace
Hi.Mapping
Assembly
HiMech.dll

Interface for objects that represent force measurements at a specific time point. Extends the ITimeShot interface to include force vector data.

public interface IForceShot : ITimeShot, ITimeGetter
Inherited Members
Extension Methods

Remarks

This interface adds force measurement capabilities to time shots:

  • Force is represented as a 3D vector in Newtons
  • Supports operations inherited from ITimeShot
  • Implementations should handle coordinate system conventions appropriately
  • Typically used for recording cutting forces in machining operations

Properties

Force_N

Gets or sets the force vector applied to the workpiece, measured in Newtons (N).

Vec3d Force_N { get; set; }

Property Value

Vec3d

Remarks

The force vector components represent:

  • X: Force in the X direction (N)
  • Y: Force in the Y direction (N)
  • Z: Force in the Z direction (N)

Positive values typically indicate:

  • Forces acting in the positive direction of each axis
  • Forces applied to the workpiece (rather than the tool)
