Function
- You can input or modify the degree of freedom constraint data of arbitrary nodes in a Spreadsheet format table using midas Civil's Table Tool.
Call
From the main menu, select [Boundary] tab > [Tables] group > [Boundary Tables] > [Point Spring Supports]

SDz : Spring stiffness in GCS Z-direction (Node's local z-axis direction)
SRx : Rotational spring stiffness about GCS X-axis (Node's local x-axis)
SRy : Rotational spring stiffness about GCS Y-axis (Node's local y-axis)
SRz : Rotational spring stiffness about GCS Z-axis (Node's local z-axis)
Damping : Damping constant
Cx : Damping constant in GCS X-direction (Node's local x-axis direction)

Stiffness : The stiffness of tension-only/compression-only spring
Direction : Node local axis direction in which a spring is assigned
X : X direction component of a vector which accounts for the direction of a spring
Y : Y direction component of a vector which accounts for the direction of a spring
Z : Z direction component of a vector which accounts for the direction of a spring
Force-Deformation Function : Function name in which the hysteresis characteristics of multi-linear hysteresis stiffness are defined.
Group : Boundary Group in which the entered boundary conditions are included
