modelSpring

Linear 1D translational spring

Extends from Translational.Interfaces.PartialCompliant (Compliant connection of two translational 1D flanges).

Information

A linear 1D translational spring. The component can be connected either between two sliding masses, or between a sliding mass and the housing (model Fixed), to describe a coupling of the sliding mass with the housing via a spring.
