LSTIFF

Description

Constitutive law defining a concentrated stiffness at one node, onde degree of freedom, possible use as a linear spring.

The model

Definition of a stiffness at one DOF, useful in case of contact solid-solid where one solid has only the stiffness issued from the contact elements.

In case of pilot node, it gives a stiffness and a stress to the foundation outside any contact occurrence. Only the element STIFF uses this law.
