How to apply elastic support fixture in solidworks.
Where to apply elastic support fixture in solidworks.
Best example if of children jumping on bed.
Main parameter to define elastic support fixture in solidworks is to assign normal as well as shear stiffness.

How to calculate elastic support= 2.85 ??

How to calculate the sping stiffness? I have never seen (N/m)/m2 before

[@afrodite8685]

in case you still need the answer, it is basically the spring constant (k) divided by the contact surface area of the spring. you can change it to "total" instead of "distributed" in the configuration to use only the spring constant (spring stiffness).

How to model soil support? for example like buried pipe underground, i model it as flexible/elastic support, but the problem is that the soil in actual only applied for compression, while in this solidwork applied for compression and tension, please help

May be

[@Residentfxp]

did you find out how to do this? i'm wondering. also need for soil support. also not sure if should be using distributed or total, seems to me like i should be using distributed if i know the elastic modulus of the soil, otherwise if i use total, the elastic modulus is uniformly divided over all this area and this doesnt make sense to me that it would depend on the area.
