Clamping with a specific stiffness in Abaqus

Submitted by schurik01 on

Hello,

is there a simple possibility to set a boundary condition to clamp my sheet in Abaqus with a specific stiffness?

Usually you use the "encastre"-boundary condition. But I would like to give this condition a specific stiffness.

Thanks a lot for your help in advance 

you might need to define an initial displacement in a step before the load is exerted , so those nodes might have the proper displacement due to their specific stiffness that is  x = F/c
