Compression Springs - Results Dialog Box (AutoCAD Mechanical Toolset)

Results: Loads tab

 

Spring dimensions:

d-wire diameter x Da-outer diameter x L0-unloaded length. Depending on the selected standard, instead of outer diameter Da mean diameter Dm can be displayed.

 

Force:

F1- load in state 1, F2- load in state 2, Fn- maximum allowed load.

 

Deflection

s1- deflection in state 1, s2- deflection in state 2, sn- maximum allowed deflection.

 

Length:

Lengths of spring caused by corresponding forces (L1, L2, Ln). Number of displayed forces depends on selected specification.

Results: Stresses tab

 

Stress:

Stress in spring calculated according to the forces.

 

Allowed:

Allowed stress in spring

 

Safety:

Safeties calculated as a ratio between stress and allowed stress in the spring

Results: Other tab

Displays information about the spring such as natural frequency of spring and allowed number of stress cycles. If you defined inputs in the Additional calculation settings dialog box then this tab displays information about the spring's safety against buckling and against influence of shear load.
