Hello,
In the below SKID i need to show that the base frame is mounted directly on the ground. All the ground beams will be layed on the floor and on the 4 cornens i will use 4 fix points How this can be applied on physical
modeler?
Thank you in advance for your support.
Kind Regards,
Select the beams in question and go to Members -> Custom. In the opened dialog, you need to select the support type (Restraints or Springs), provide the amount of segments (the support will be assigned in these segments for each beam) and other information if required.
Good morning Modestas,
Thank you very much for your support.
So this is the applicable way to show and demonstrate the floor establisment in physical and analytical modeler as well?
Yes. Just you may want to use more segments on the longer beams. You may also want to use compression only springs if those beams are not fixed on the ground along its length.

Thanks once again, you are very helpful and always to the point.
Have a nice day!
Dear Modestas,
Good morning.
I have incorporate spring supports on the side that is on touch directly on the ground . Although the springs are shown when the analysis model is ON in the Ribbon and shown also on the spreadsheet (springs are enclosed in blue on the model) , when i am switching OFF the analytical button, these are dissapeared both from the model and the spreadsheet as well. These two conditions are shown on the first and second screenshot.
Also i want to check the axial behavior of these springs and change them to compression only, but the spreadsheet is frozen due to the switched on Analysis model button on the ribon.
Is any sollution on this?
Thank you very much in advance for your support.
