Translational Spring Damper Tool

Ribbon menu → Forces tab → Flexible Connections container → Spring-Damper Tool

(Classic) Build → Forces → Spring-Damper Tool

Adds a translational spring damper to your model by defining the locations on two parts between which the spring-damper acts. You define the action force that is applied to the first location, and Adams Solver automatically applies the equal and opposite reaction force to the second location.
