• Vertex or point for second location . Select a vertex or a reference point from the same or different component or a body.

Options

• Units . Set the units for the spring-damper connector properties.

• Axial Stiffness . Set the stiffness in the axial direction between two points.

• Lateral Stiffness . Set the stiffness in the lateral direction between two points.

• Rotational Stiffness . Set torsional stiffness between two points.

• Damping coefficient . Set the coefficient of viscous damping between two points.
