Hello everyone,

I would like to connect two parts with connectors like "axial" to mimic a spring that oppposes to the displacement.
I like to simulate a spring between two parts which opposes to displacement. After consultation of the documentation, I do not understand how to specify parameters for the spring.
My simulation test is as follow : Part A is encastred and it is linked to part B by a spring (connector axial).
I would like to apply a traction force on part B and see how the spring opposes to the displacement.

May you explain me how to proceed?
It's just a test. For further work, I would like to simulate the actions of the tendons in a finger joint.

Best Regards
