spring between 2 nodes with moment-rotation relationship

spring between 2 nodes with moment-rotation relationship

(OP)
hi all,

I am trying to simulate a spring that have a moment rotation relationship between 2 nodes in Abaqus/Explict or force perpendicular to the line between the 2 nodes against the vertical displacement.

Can I use beam elements to simulate this behavior instead?

Can anyone please advice? Thank you.

Hi,

To do it you can use on of connector elements (e.g. revolute) with linear elastic behavior.
