Node Support > New/Modify

Defining new supports with respective spring constants or modifying existing definitions. The different spring constants can be individually assigned by ticking or ticking off the respective check box.

SettingDescription
From / To / Step Series of nodes where Node Supports shall be defined or modified.
CX / CY / CZ Translational spring constants in the x, y, z directions respectively
CMX / CMY / CMZ Rotational spring constants around the x, y, z directions respectively
Note: The spring constants are related to the local coordinate directions as specified in Structure > Node support orientation . These node coordinate directions are identical with global directions if no other user specification is done.
