Tangential Bedding

Hi everyone,
Is there a way to input different values of tangential bedding on quad element in specific directions?

Hello minken,

It is not possible to define different tangential beddings on quad elements.
For further informaiont you should have a look at chapter 5.17 (SARS) in the SOFiMSHC manual.
You can find the manual in the SSD / TEDDY within the following tab:

Help > user manuals > all manuals… > SOFiMSHC

Hi,
I would like to ask more info about the tangential bedding on quads. Is it considered as a tension/compression spring?
Thanks

(Tangential) bedding is a linear spring at the nodes of quad elements with spring stiffness adjusted according to area of influence.
