Compression-only spring for frame
Compression-only spring for frame
(OP)
Is there anybody who knows how to define line spring as compression-only spring? I tried, but it looked not working.
Any input will be appreciated.

I tried GAP element as well, but still not working. I defined a nonlinear link (GAP type) and assigned to the frame to be analyzed. But the result showed that the spring was not functional at all. Any hints? Or anywhere I did wrong?
Thanks.

The direction I applied the spring was wrong before. :(
