Information

Flexible Support

This class contains equations for a translational two-dimensional coupled spring damper. It is often used as a more realistic contact to ground or a beam compared to a normal fixed contact. A flexible support allows the connected member to move according to its structural constants such as stiffness and damping parameters.

Figure 1: Flexible support parameters tab.

Under the Options, it is recommended to set isRoot to false as long as there are any other type of support.

Following is a graphic of an animation with a SupportStiffnessDamping component attached to a cylindrical beam at the end.
