Can a damage be simulated using springs ?

03 March 2015 1 9K Report

fro a large structure, can we assign springs to an element for a damage simulation

Springs can simulate an Elastic behaviour of a strucutre or a material, for damage you shoud use a Plastic behaviour representation use a "Pad" (en français Patin, ou bien tombon)
