Restoring force and 6DOF

saclu · June 8, 2011, 12:31

Hi,

I am using the DEFINE_SDOF_PROPERTIES UDF to simulate the movement of an object in a fluid. I would like to add a restoring force. Does anyone know how to to this?

Thanks

Hi, would you like the object to move due to the forces of the flow?
also, what do you mean by "restoring force"?
