Setting spring constraints

1. If you want to use a local coordinate system when setting constraints, first define and activate the local coordinate system.
2. Click (Boundary Conditions tab > Constraints and Loads > Constraints > Spring Constraints).
3. Use the cross-hairs to select the location(s) for which you want to set the constraint.
4. Enter the required Transitional stiffness and Rotational stiffness values in the X, Y, and Z directions.
5. Click Apply. An appropriate constraint symbol will be displayed at each location you have constrained.
6. Click Close to close the dialog.

Note: Now that you have successfully set the model constraint(s) in order to prevent rigid body motion, you can now apply the required load(s) to the model.
