SpringDashpotToGround(...)
This method creates a SpringDashpotToGround object.
Path
mdb.models[name].parts[name].engineeringFeatures.SpringDashpotToGround mdb.models[name].rootAssembly.engineeringFeatures\ .SpringDashpotToGround
Required arguments
- name
-
A String specifying the repository key.
- region
-
A Region object specifying the region to which the springs and/or dashpots are applied.
- dof
-
An Int specifying the degree of freedom associated with the spring and dashpot behaviors.
Optional arguments
- orientation
-
None or a DatumCsys object specifying the local directions for the spring and/or dashpot. If orientation=None, the spring and/or dashpot data are defined in the global coordinate system. The default value is None.

-
A Boolean specifying whether to apply spring behavior to the selected points. The default value is OFF.
At least one of the arguments springBehavior=ON or dashpotBehavior=ON must be specified.
- dashpotBehavior
-
A Boolean specifying whether to apply dashpot behavior to the selected points. The default value is OFF.
At least one of the arguments springBehavior=ON or dashpotBehavior=ON must be specified.
- springStiffness
-
A Float specifying the force per relative displacement for the spring. The default value is 0.0.
- dashpotCoefficient
-
A Float specifying the force per relative velocity for the dashpot. The default value is 0.0.
Return value
A SpringDashpotToGround object.
Exceptions
None.
