SPRINGDAMPER
The SPRINGDAMPER command redefines and/or lists the data for a SPRINGDAMPER statement. You cannot redefine the I and J marker defining the springdamper or the translational/rotational characteristic, but you can redefine other characteristics.

Arguments
ANGLE=r | Respecifies the reference angle for the torsional spring. If the reference torque of the spring is zero, ANGLE equals the free angle. Adams Solver (C++) assumes ANGLE is in radians unless a D is added after the value. |
C=r | Respecifies the viscous damping coefficient for the force. The force due to damping is zero when the system is at rest. C must be greater than or equal to zero. |
CT=r | Respecifies the viscous damping coefficient for the torque. The torque due to damping is zero when the system is at rest. CT must be in units of torque per radian per unit of time. Range: CT > 0 |
FORCE=r | Respecifies the reference force at LENGTH. |
K=r | Respecifies the spring stiffness coefficient for the force. Range: K > 0 |
KT=r | Respecifies the spring stiffness coefficient for the torque. KT must be in units of torque per radian. Range: KT > 0 |
LENGTH=r | Respecifies the reference LENGTH for the spring. If the reference force of the spring is zero, LENGTH equals the free length. Range: LENGTH > 0 |
LIST | Lists the current values of the data in the SPRINGDAMPER statement. |
TORQUE=r | Respecifies the reference torque of the torsional spring at ANGLE. |
