The following is a list of RAM Concept line spring properties:
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Name | User-defined label used to identify the spring in output. This label is automatically transferred to meshed line springs during mesh generation. |
Elevation above slab soffit | Vertical distance between the line spring and the soffit. |
Spring Angle (R=X, S=Y@0) | Orientation of the local axes. The plan shows spring orientation. |
R-Force Constant | Spring constant in the direction of the local r-axis at each end. |
S-Force Constant | Spring constant in the direction of the local s-axis at each end. |
Z-Force Constant | Spring constant in the direction of the global z-axis at each end. |
R-Moment Constant | Angular spring constant about the local r-axis at each end. |
S-Moment Constant | Angular spring constant about the local s-axis at each end. |
