Assigning Preload and stiffness simultaneously in 1D spring

pratik gadve

Hi,

 

Instead of rubber bellows I have used Cbush element and given stiffness to it. I want to give preload also. I have checked we cannot give preload to cbush element. CROD,CBAR,CBEAM support for giving preload.  Is there any option (spring type) to give preload and stiffness to 1D element simultaneously ? Please let me know soon.

 

Regards,

Pratik

Try preload on PGAP with CGAP.
