Refer to Usage of Table Tool and enter or modify the following data :
Node : Node number
Type : General nodal spring stiffness type
SDx : Spring stiffness in the node's local x-direction or GCS x-direction
SDy : Spring stiffness in the node's local y-direction or GCS y-direction
SDz : Spring stiffness in the node's local z-direction or GCS z-direction
SRx : Rotational spring stiffness about x-axis of the node's local coordinate system or GCS
SRy : Rotational spring stiffness about y-axis of the node's local coordinate system or GCS
SRz : Rotational spring stiffness about z-axis of the node's local coordinate system or GCS
Group : Boundary Group in which the entered boundary conditions are included
