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.
Setting | Description |
---|---|
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.
