Spring02

Spring02

Spring Using Strain

• Number of DoFs: 2

• DoF Label: U1, U2

Syntax

element Spring02 (1) (2) (3) (4)
# (1) int, unique tag
# (2) int, node i
# (3) int, node j
# (4) int, material tag

Remarks

The Spring02 uses strain as the input quantity and compute stress.

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.
