Description
Defines a spring boundary condition to be used for mechanical analyses using the Elmer solver.
(v0.21)
: The spring constraint can be used for the equations Deformation and
Elasticity.
Usage
- Either use the toolbar button
Spring or the menu Model → Mechanical boundary conditions and loads →
Spring.
- Press the Add button.
- In the 3D view select the faces to which the spring should be applied. To remove faces from the selection, press the Remove button and click on them.
