SPRING element in COSMOS
- Thread starter Mister13
- Start date
The documentation is pretty clear. Most of the important stuff is set in an RCONST.
Be aware that you can have one node and two/three node springs. One node springs are good for keeping bodies from flying into space as they are basically grounded springs.
As far as you columns go, send a picture. It isn't clear what you are trying to accomplish and what part springs need to play in what you are doing.

The situations is, that i have to find out, how much does other column helps (lenght is L1 in the picture) for others columns buckling (lenght is L).
There is a situation shouwn in a picture 2, where are two columns connected with a horizontal element in the top. It would be the same, if i connected column's (lenght L) top with a spring (spring stiffnes is 10500 kN/m) that columns could only move and there will not be rotation, like it is shouwn in picture 2.
Thank you!

You could probably use a one node grounded spring.

I tried to use one, two or threee node elements. But all results were wrong..
Interesting, because if i calculate a column, which top is not fixed, results are the same in CosmosM and MidasCivil but if the top is fixed, results are wrong.

Can you post the session file from Cosmos/M?
