Dear all,
Is there a way to design compression-only springs in Karamba3D?
I am trying to simulate the interaction between an indefinitely rigid slab (mesh) connected to the ground through several springs. When I place a vertical load on the slab, depending on its location, the rigid plate “rotates in space” resulting in some springs being compressed and some others being elongated. However, I would like them to operate just under compression. Therefore, I wonder if there is a way to get this desired result. In a common structural analysis software I would use nonlinear spring along with NL analysis.
Many thanks
Federico
