Hello, 

I'm new here image/emoticons/default_smile.png' alt=':)' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' width='20' height='20'>.

 

How is the function ('[funct_ID1] Function defining f') defined? What variable is on the x-axis and what is on the y-axis?

Is it possible to built a limiter with this spring type?

 

Thanks for your help!

    Hi,

     

    fct_ID1:

    Function identifier defining f depending on flag Ileng...

     

    Ileng: Input per unit length flag (Integer)

    = 0: force in the spring is computed (see Comment 6)

    = 1: all input are per unit length (see Comment 7)

     

    there a a lot of comments in the solver manual.

    Y - Force

    X - delta l

     

    Regards,

    Mario
