-This command will add springs to the ends of beams and at beam intersection that are perpendicular to the z-axis to simulate nonlinear structures. The Submodeler ​finds all of the beams elements and determines the ends and intersections based connectivity with other elements. The command then adds a new node that the beam end and a spring with 10<​sup>​7</​sup>​ stiffness in all directions connect the new original beam end node to the new end node. The new springs are placed in a new group and each spring has its own spring constant so the user can independently ​soften any of the new springs.+This command will add springs to the ends of beams and at beam intersection that are perpendicular to the z-axis to simulate nonlinear structures. The ACS SASSI UI finds all of the beams elements and determines the ends and intersections based connectivity with other elements.

The new springs are placed in a new group and each spring has its own spring constant so that each spring ​can be modified ​independently.
