DOF Springs orientation
DOF Springs orientation
(OP)
the DOF spring property card doesn't have an option to choose a Coordinate System.
How do you define stiffness's in a particular orientation?
I've tried defining node output CSys, but I'm not sure if this is right.
Thanks,
W

a simple x spring would connect x1 with x2.
looks like global axes ... runa test to verify ?

or use the damper/spring element which is a CBUSH and allows local CID references
