MSC ADAMS: torsion spring and spline

[Abc1919]

Hi everyone,

In the process of building my model, I encounter a problem with ADAMS.
I am trying to describe the stiffness of my torsion spring with a spline.

But what mean T=f(defo)?

I understand that x is equal to the deformations, but it doesn’t seems to work.

Thank you!

You need a much better description of your problem. At the very least which product you are using and what the prompt is that is giving you trouble. I no longer have access to ADAMS, so you might be better off looking at the Hexagon ADAMS forums. Here's their support page

https://help.hexagonmi.com/bundle/a...lver_c_plus_statements/TOC.SPRINGDAMPER.xhtml

That's for a linear spring. For a non linear spring I use an SFORCE

Cheers

"But what mean T=f(defo)? "


This entry means that the dependence of the deformation and the moment will be determined by some spline.
In the case of a torsion spring, this is the angular displacement. Therefore, in the spline graph, set:
X - angle of rotation(there will be units from the settings, radians by default)
Y - moment to turn to a given angle (there will be units from the settings, N * mm by default)
