A spring is an elastic element used to store mechanical energy which retains its original shape after a force is removed. Springs are typically defined in a stress free or &#8220;unloaded&#8221; state. This means that no loading conditions exist unless preloading is specified, which creates an initial &#8220;loaded&#8221; state. Springs connect two bodies together, which connects them and transfers the load from one body to the other. <a href=\"https:\/\/ansyshelp.ansys.com\/account\/secured?returnurl=\/Views\/Secured\/corp\/v241\/en\/discovery\/UDA\/user_manual\/physics\/structural\/topics\/t_structural_springs_longitudinal.html\">Longitudinal <\/a>or <a href=\"https:\/\/ansyshelp.ansys.com\/account\/secured?returnurl=\/Views\/Secured\/corp\/v241\/en\/discovery\/UDA\/user_manual\/physics\/structural\/topics\/t_structural_springs_torsional.html\">torsional<\/a> springs generate a force that depends on displacement or rotation, respectively.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"vidyard_iframe\" title=\"AddingCreating Spring Connections\" src=\"\/\/play.vidyard.com\/sbbG1cgFHiXd1sgvY5CY4Y.html?\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Please refer to this documentation to understand how you can set up a longitudinal spring connection, in detail: <a href=\"https:\/\/ansyshelp.ansys.com\/account\/secured?returnurl=\/Views\/Secured\/corp\/v241\/en\/discovery\/UDA\/user_manual\/physics\/structural\/topics\/t_structural_springs_longitudinal.html\">Specifying a Longitudinal Spring<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Please refer to this documentation to understand how you can set up a torsional spring connection, in detail: <a href=\"https:\/\/ansyshelp.ansys.com\/account\/secured?returnurl=\/Views\/Secured\/corp\/v241\/en\/discovery\/UDA\/user_manual\/physics\/structural\/topics\/t_structural_springs_torsional.html\">Specifying a Torsional Spring<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-182304","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-connection","topic-tag-elastic-element","topic-tag-force-removal","topic-tag-force-rotation","topic-tag-force-displacement","topic-tag-load-transfer","topic-tag-loaded-state","topic-tag-longitudinal-springs","topic-tag-mechanical-energy-storage","topic-tag-original-shape-retention","topic-tag-preloading","topic-tag-spring","topic-tag-spring-conncetion","topic-tag-sprint-element","topic-tag-stress-free-state","topic-tag-suspension","topic-tag-torsional-springs","topic-tag-unloaded-state","filter-by-application-discovery","filter-by-application-discovery-explore","filter-by-application-discovery-model","filter-by-application-discovery-refine","filter-by-application-discovery-spaceclaim"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_edit_lock":["1715835803:77057"],"_edit_last":["77057"],"_wp_old_date":["2024-05-16"],"filter_by_optics_product":["Lumerical"],"_filter_by_optics_product":["field_64fb192ba3121"],"application_name":[""],"_application_name":["field_64a80903c8e15"],"family":[""],"_family":["field_64a809229a857"],"siebel_km_number":[""],"_siebel_km_number":["field_63ecbffce60db"],"salesforce_km_number":[""],"_salesforce_km_number":["field_63ecc018e60dc"],"km_published_date":[""],"_km_published_date":["field_64c77704499dd"],"product_version":[""],"_product_version":["field_64c776cb4fd2e"],"_bbp_forum_id":["159543"],"_bbp_topic_id":["182304"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.11.229.158"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["0"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["182305"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-05-16 04:13:14"],"_bbp_reply_count":["0"],"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":["0"],"_bbp_voice_count":["0"],"_yoast_wpseo_content_score":["60"],"_yoast_wpseo_estimated-reading-time-minutes":["1"],"_btv_view_count":["4686"],"_bbp_likes_count":["1"]},"test":"watchlearnansys-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/182304","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/182304\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":182305,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/182304\/revisions\/182305"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=182304"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
