  I found it you can add a snippet of APDL to the solution e.g. for a 3D spring it would be this way:/prep7n!X direction springnET,500,COMBIN14 nKEYOPT,500,1,0 nKEYOPT,500,2,1 nKEYOPT,500,3,0 nR,1,1000, , , , , , nRMORE, ,ntype,500nreal,1 ne,368,3090n!y direction springnET,501,COMBIN14 nKEYOPT,501,1,0 nKEYOPT,501,2,2 nKEYOPT,501,3,0 nR,2,1000, , , , , , nRMORE, ,ntype,501nreal,2 ne,368,3090n!Z direction springnET,502,COMBIN14 nKEYOPT,502,1,0 nKEYOPT,502,2,3 nKEYOPT,502,3,0 nR,3,1000, , , , , , nRMORE, ,ntype,502nreal,3 ne,368,3090nfinishn/solunn
