Anyone who knows how to define a nonlinear rotational
spring element in ABAQUS?

I have been trying many times but it doesnt work...
*Element, type=Spring1, elset=Spring_Ele
...
*Spring, elset=Spring_Ele, nonlinear
4 (rotation about axis 3)
<force>, <disp>

Here:
force is rotational moment
disp is rotational angle

anyone who has experience about this, pls help me!
Thanks in advanced
