Soil Spring

Hi,

 

I am trying to model a tunnel section buried in soil. I tried using the connector spot tool but it created 21000 spots with no real effect. How can I create spring normal to the outer surface nodes with a set stiffness in X and Y direction? 

The faces are constraint with a symmetry face, shown in red.

The load will be applied to the same surface as the springs, will this be an issue?

Will the free ends of the springs require a fixed SPC constraint or will HW know this is fixed in space? 

 

I did try and search the Altair One site, but did not see much on this topic.
