Specifies the magnitude of the harmonic force to be applied.

Typical units (depending on your unit system):

  • lb

  • N

The form of the harmonic forcing function is:

F(t) = A*cosine(wt-f)

where "F(t)" is the force as a function of time. "A" is the maximum amplitude of the dynamic force. "w" is the frequency of the excitation (in radians per second), and "f" is the phase angle (in radians).
