Coil Spring/Damper Endpoints Too Close or Crossed

Condition

The coil spring or damper's endpoints have been positioned in a way that exceeds the spring's limits or are crossed.

This error message has two versions:
  • Coil Spring Endpoints Too Close or Crossed
  • Damper Endpoints Too Close or Crossed

Remedy

  • Enable Spring Limits under General in the Property Editor (springs only).
  • Increase the spring's Stiffness property under Spring Limits in the Property Editor.
  • Use the Move tool or endpoint manipulators to separate the endpoints so they won't get too close or cross during analysis.
  • Change the unit system (e.g. from SI to MPA).
