  I need to know how i link between ansys workbench and matlab? And if i want to define a load at zero deformation of a nonlinear spring what should i do ?I need to know how i link between ansys workbench and matlab for making optimization? And

  Hi,
  For first question please see the following link: Interactive link between MATLAB and ANSYS - File Exchange - MATLAB Central (mathworks.com)
  You can search the net for more details on optimization.
  Having a zero deformation with load indicates a rigid spring (infinite stiffness) or do you mean to say that with load is zero at the deflected (equilibrium/ mean) position of the spring? Please provide more details.
