Structure > Node Support
Table of the defined structural nodes, showing their support conditions. The supports are generally defined by specification of relevant spring constants. Rigid supports must be modeled by defining appropriately high spring constants. The support key is set to "yes" when at least one support item (spring constant, orientation, eccentricity) is different to zero.

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.
