Spring property is a physical property assigned to a section of a part (1D).
The input and output characteristics are:
- Input:
- Translational stiffness
- Rotational stiffness
- Output:
- Point force vector
- Point moment vector
The output characteristics can be expressed at the given positions of the element and in different axis system:
