using weak springs

      Hi,

      When using weak-springs (on or programme-controlled), after checking their reactions in results, how much these reactions should amount for in order to consider that they do not affect the rest of the results and the obtained solution is therefore valid? Is there any criterion to follow?

      Thanks.

      Hi Miguel.

      I believe it depends on the application but the general guideline is that the reaction forces of weak-springs should be close to zero as much as possible.
