!SPRING

Definition of spring boundary conditions

This boundary condition elastically supports a specified degree of freedom of a specified node against the ground using a spring. No element needs to be defined in the mesh data. To connect two nodes with a spring, use the connector-element springs !SPRING_A / !SPRING_D, which serve a different purpose.

Parameters

GRPID = Group ID

** 2nd line and subsequent lines **

(2nd line) NODE_ID, DOF_id, Value
Variable name Attribute Description
NODE_ID I/C Node ID or node group name
DOF_id I Constrained degree of freedom
Value R Spring constant

Example

!SPRING, GRPID=1
  1, 1, 0.5

Notes

  • !SPRING can be used in static analysis and implicit dynamic analysis.
  • GRPID is referenced from the LOAD line of !STEP and is used to activate spring support for each step.
