We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi Bushetty,

There is no direct way to control the compression of the spring at a certain position, but you can control the compression position by controlling the stiffness of the spring. By defining the actual stiffness up to the desired compression length, and defining the very large stiffness value beyond that length.

Refer: 9.8. Springs (ansys.com), Part 4 :- Different type of spring modelling in ANSYS Mechanical (youtube.com)

Thanks
