    Coordinate system for spring element

    Connector element does not work too because its coordinates rotate in a way make the shear displacement equal to zero. Thanks though

    Coordinate system for spring element

    Each spring has stiffness in 1 and 2 direction. Direction (1) has shear stiffness and direction 2 has axial stiffness. SpringA will be fine to represent axial stiffness. But it will not work for shear stiffness...

    Coordinate system for spring element

    It is 2d as shown in attachment. Two beam connected by spring element. When beam deflect , I want spring force direction follow the deformation *ELEMENT, TYPE=SPRING2, ELSET=elset_spring2 953, 40, 606 954, 80, 646 955, 120, 686 956, 160, 726 957, 200, 766 958, 240, 806 *SPRING...

    Coordinate system for spring element

    Thank you for you repley I am using spring type 2 nonlinear and standard analysis. So there is nothing I can do? I want the direction of action changing during the analysis and follow a certain nodes.

    Coordinate system for spring element

    Hello, I am using abaqus. Is there a way to define a local coordinate system which varies during analysis to reflect any deformation? This is for a spring element. I used "*Orientation, DEFINITION=NODES" but it did not work. Do I need to use subroutine? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you...
