PJOINTG - STOP/LOCK in Translational Joint - Suspension Modeling

Neeraj Kumar

Hello,

I am doing suspension modeling for a 2W chassis for further fatigue simulation.

I have used CELAS1 and CDAMP1 element for modelling spring and damper. To make sure there is only translational motion along the axis of the suspension, I have given Translational Joint using PJOINT property; and in which I have specified STOP/LOCK properties to control the compression and elongation of the springs and damper.

But, I have observed that the STOP/LOCK is not working. Whatever different values I provide in the STOP/LOCK field, the displacement in the suspension (Springs and damper) for the FRF subcase remains same.

How do I remove this error?

I have attached the .hm file. Please go through it.

Thank You.
