What are the dynamical consequences of creating a marker on a flex body (.mnf) with preserve_location (away from native nodes) ? How are forces/torques at the marker implemented on the body ?

Here is what the Adams Solver Documentation read for the MARKER statement's NODE (i.e. NODE_ID) argument:
"If the NODE argument is not specified for a marker on a FLEX_BODY, the marker behaves as if it were attached to a rigid body; its position, velocity, and acceleration are invariant to deformation, and all forces/torques defined on that marker only project onto the rigid body degrees of freedom."
