Adams/Solver
The following equation defines IMPACT:
IMPACT
See an explanation of the STEP function (C++ or FORTRAN).
Adams/Solver never returns a negative force for IMPACT. If the above expression evaluates to negative
value, Adams/Solver returns a zero value.
For an example of an SFOSUB that calls IMPACT, see SFOSUB.
ISTRNG
ISTRNG converts a number from integer format to character format. The character string representing
the integer is always left justified.

Caution: • IMPACT is only used to determine force or torque magnitudes.
• The force value and the distance measure must both be positive in the same
direction.
• When e is less than or equal to one, the rate of change of the force is discontinuous
at contact. This may cause convergence problems.
