Description

Defines a spring boundary condition to be used by MoFEM (currently unsupported).

Usage

  1. Either use the toolbar button FEM ConstraintSpring or the menu Model → Mechanical Constraints → Constraint spring.
  2. In the 3D view select the objects the constraint should be applied to, which have to be faces.

introduced in version 1.0 The spring constraint can be used for the Solver Elmer and its equations Deformation and Elasticity.
