Dear all, i'm trying to model a curved beam supported by torsional spring-damper elements and longitudinal spring-damper elements in ANSYS Workbench. I want to do an harmonic analysis on it but i need to verify if the torsional spring-damper element is defined correctly.

In the ANSYS Forum, i've found that i can't define a Torsional Spring-element in workbench, but i can convert a Longitudinal Spring-damper to torsional by inserting a Command Object under the spring-damper and forcing it to be Torsional. I added longitudinal spring and added command right below it but i need to verify if the command is defined correctly.

The torsional spring is arounf the X axis and the added command looks like the following:

et,_sid,combin14

KEYOPT,_sid,2,4

K=158400

CV1=150

r,_sid,K,CV1

Does any body have any idea on it?

Thank you so much for the help.
