Comments
- The syntax /H3D/ELEM/Keyword3 is also valid.
- When PART IDs are listed after the /H3D/SPRING line the specified results will only be output for those parts.
- Damage in springs is defined as
the maximum value between time 0 and the current time of the displacement versus
failure displacement ratio:
For TYPE13 (/PROP/SPR_BEAM) springs, damage direction 1 is traction/compression, 2 and 3 are shear y and z.
For TYPE8 (/PROP/SPR_GENE) springs, damage directions 1, 2 and 3 are, respectively x, y and z.
