====== FORCE Data Type ======

||

The [[Visual3D:Documentation:Kinematics_and_Kinetics:External_Forces:Force_Representation|Ground Reaction Force]] has 9 components. 3 components for the Force (FORCE), 3 components for the Center of Pressure ([[Visual3D:Documentation:Visual3D_Signal_Types:COFP_Data_Type|COFP]]), and 3 components for the Free Moment ([[Visual3D:Documentation:Visual3D_Signal_Types:FREEMOMENT_Data_Type|FREEMOMENT]]).

\\
The Ground Reaction Force vector is computed from the ANALOG signals recorded from the force platform, the calculations specified by the force platform manufacturer, and the location of the force platform in the laboratory.

The Ground Reaction Force vector is stored in the FORCE folder in the Visual3D data tree. The FORCE signals are resolved in the Laboratory Coordinate System.
