Spring01
Spring Using Displacement
Syntax
element Spring01 (1) (2) (3) (4)
# (1) int, unique tag
# (2) int, node i
# (3) int, node j
# (4) int, material tag
Remarks
The Spring01
uses displacement as the input quantity and compute force. It can be used as a zero-length element to connect two nodes.
Note only infinitesimal strain/deformation formulation is supported. If finite deformation, such a rigid body dynamics, is involved, analysts shall use T2D2
and T2D2S
elements.
