Pre-loaded springs

Hello everybody,

 

is it possible to create pre-loaded CBUSH elements in Optistruct? 

I would like to model with spring elements braced components (tet-meshed) with a defined spring stiffness. The spring elements are attached by RBE3 to the component's surfaces (RBE3-spider -- CBUSH -- RBE3-spider).

My goal is to model pre-loaded human ligaments restraining the hip.

 

I'd be glad to get any advice on this topic.

 

Best regards 

Jo
