Introduction This ACT extension allows introducing a unidirectional spring element with nonlinear generalized force-deflection capability that can be used in any analysis. As with most nonlinear elements, loading and unloading should occur gradually. See the Contact Technology Guide , as well as various contact element descriptions, for guidelines on overcoming convergence difficulties. Even if this mechanism uses the flexible diaphragm spring, the rigid body model will use the linear spring instead. Join Us!
