    No compression for spring element in Abaqus

    To Mustaine3: I solved assuming spring as nonlinear. There are total 4 springs. But output graph shows that all springs displacements are negative though it looks from visualization that 1 or 2 spring is probably extending. Also, surprisingly, for one of spring, when displacement is negative, it...

    Hi bkal, thanks for your suggestion. I solved assuming spring as nonlinear. There are total 4 springs. But output graph shows that all springs displacement are negative though it looks from visualization that 1 or 2 spring is probably extending. Also, surprisingly, for one of spring, when...

    No compression for spring element in Abaqus

    Hi Mustaine3 and IceBreakerSours, thanks to both of you. To IceBreakerSours: I am defining the spring as "wire feature" which allows me to assign only stiffness constant. For this condition, I don't see any "no compression" option. The one you mentioned, is under Property module which does not...

    No compression for spring element in Abaqus

    Hi,I am trying to simulate ligament as a spring element (wire) in Abaqus. But problem is ligament has no compression. How can I apply "no compression" if I design it as a spring or I can make sure that my spring element is not taking any compression. From history output of spring element, it...
