1D translational spring with variable stiffness
Library
Mechanics/Translational
Description
A linear 1D translational spring. The component can be connected either between two sliding masses, or between a sliding mass and the housing (model Fixed), to describe a coupling of the sliding mass with the housing via a spring.
