TYPE 8 SPRINGS

Altair Forum User

Hi, when I create a spring with zero length how I can understand which are the dofs? The dofs are the same of the global reference system ?

Hi,

 

directions can either be global or local. Local directions are defined with a fixed or moving skew frame (skew_ID). If left blank it follows global reference system.
