Summary
- Create a point spring at the end of geometry.
How to Run
- Ribbon Menu > [Model] Tab > [Analysis] Group > Point Spring
Explanation
[Tab] Create
[Select Target]
Select the vertex to place the Point Spring.
Only the vertices of 1D Geometry Line can be selected.
[Spring Type]
Choose a Spring Type.
Linear, Compression Only, and Tension Only types are provided.
Depending on the Spring Type selection, the stiffness spring value input setting is different.
[Stiffness]
Spring Type : Linear
Set Fixed or enter a linear elastic spring stiffness value.
Spring Type : Compression Only
Enter the compression-only spring stiffness value.
Enter the orientation of the spring based on the nodal coordinate system.
Spring Type : Tension Only
Enter the tension-only spring stiffness value.
Enter the orientation of the spring based on the nodal coordinate system.
[Damping Constant]
Spring Type : This setting is only valid for Linear.
Enter the spring damping constant through the spring damping constant option setting.
