Constaint with a given stiffness
Constaint with a given stiffness
(OP)
Hi.
This is likely a simple question although as this software is still relitavely new to me it is one I require assistance with.
I have a component I need to constrain. It is bolted to a testing apparatus on both ends. Ideally this apparatus would be fixed however in the real world there is obviously some displacement within the fixed object.
I have measured the stiffness in all six DOFs of the testing apparatus and wish to constrain my NX component with this data.
Basically. Instead of a purely fixed or purely free constraint can I apply a contraint in which the component is allowed to displace into a given stiffness?
Thanks in advance.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
