Hi,

Is there a way to assign a surface spring to a surface in PrePoMax, but assign the directional stiffness values using a reference coordinate system?

Thanks!

You would have to edit keywords manually to add the ORIENTATION parameter to the *SPRING keyword. It has to point to the name of orientation defined via another manually added card - *ORIENTATION.
