Scalar Spring Connection to Scalar Points Only
Description: Defines a scalar spring element that is connected only to scalar points.
Format:
Example:
| Field | Definition | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| EID | Element identification number. | Integer > 0 | Required |
| PID | Property identification number of a PELAS entry. | Integer > 0 | Required |
| S1, S2 | Scalar point identification numbers of connection points. | Integer > 0 | See Remark 2 |
Remarks:
- Element identification numbers must be unique with respect to all other element identification numbers.
- A blank may be used to indicate a grounded terminal G1 or G2 with a corresponding blank or zero C1 or C2. A grounded terminal is a point whose displacement is constrained to zero.
- If Gi refers to a grid point, then Ci refers to component numbers in the displacement coordinate system specified by CD on the GRID entry.
