-How to impose a stiffness and block the degrees of freedom? What is the default stiffness? And what happens if we set the displacement to 0?

Hello,

I want to impose a stiffness and block some DOF as a boundry condition but there is only grounded bushing which permit to do it, even i set up grounded bushing the simulation won't turn due to low constraints. I want to impose those boundry conditions.

    Hello Kulendrarajah,

    I see you want to impose stiffness and block some DOF in SimSolid. Doing this is pretty straightforward. In SimSolid, you can create or import bushing and define the stiffness and DOF as you want. Please refer to the image attached.image.
