I am modeling a simple spring element in Abaqus where I fix one end of it and then assign it a stiffness and apply a load to it. In theory this will allow me to accurately predict the displacement I anticipate to occur. For example if I give the spring a stiffness of 10N/mm and apply a load in...
Thank you for responding.
How exactly do I use CAE to create tension only springs? When I create the springs using the GUI there is no option to assign tension only, there's simply a space to enter a value for the stiffness of the spring.
Hi,
I am currently working on creating a finite element model of the cervical spine and in Abaqus I am trying to model the ligaments in that region using spring elements. Does anyone know how exactly, whether through the CAE or editing the input file itself, that I can create tension only...
