  Is there any feature in APDl such that the real constant value of a spring element could be saved into dynamic variable. i was planning to do a parametric optmisation for a spring system, but i could not add the real constant value like stiffness and dampings as a input parameter. if anyone has any idea pls support.

  Hi
  
  Yes should be able to just call/name it kk (=55) say and use/change that. See example:
  
  /prep7
  *SET,kk,55 ! or kk=55
  et,1,14
  !*
  KEYOPT,1,1,0
  KEYOPT,1,2,0
  KEYOPT,1,3,0
  !*
  R,1,kk, , , , , ,
  RMORE, ,
  
  All the best
