DOF Springs???
DOF Springs???
(OP)
Hello Forum,
I've been reading about modeling fasteners on the web and all sources suggest to use "spring/damper" elements (CBUSH) in lieu of DOF Springs.
My question to you is:
What are "DOF springs" used for???
Thank you,
Whyowhyowhy

Aren't "Spring/Damper" elements (CBUSH) preferred for any type of fasteners (including rivets)?

looking at the data entry i have (FeMap 10.3), "dof spring" has a single stiffness (= CELAS) and "spring/damper" multiple (= CBUSH).
look at the f06 to be sure.

Why and how is this different?
Thank you,
