Q: How can I find out the drag force on a tendon?
REV 7.00

A: There is no direct way to get this result because it is not really useful except for checking. Thus, you can:

• Turn off the environment,
• Issue the command &STATUS F_ROD,
• Turn on the environment with the current, and
• Again issue the command &STATUS F_ROD.

the difference in the internal forces between the two &status results is the effect of the drag on the tendon. In particular, the first and last values can be used to compute the values of the force and where it is located.
