Model effect of springs in ANSYS

Model effect of springs in ANSYS

Model effect of springs in ANSYS

(OP)
Hi

I have a pipe supported by means of two different kinds of springs (Spring const difft).
How do i model the springs in ANSYS? Which element to be used?

I have around 40 nodes, in which 10 nodes come under spring 1 and 30 under spring 2.
How do I model the situation?

Anyone has any sample files?

Then check the help content on COMBIN14 elements (not sure of the number though) Combin elements are spring / dampers elements.

There are also a lot of VM (Verification manual) exemples in the Ansys help to help you define and use them.
