You can use a spring tracker to display the following longitudinal result items from a spring in an Explicit Dynamics analysis:
Elongation – Elongation is the relative displacement between the two ends of the springs. The elongation could be positive (stretching the spring) or negative (compressing the spring).
Velocity – Velocity is the rate of stretch (or compression) of the spring.
Elastic Force – Elastic force is calculated as (Spring Stiffness * Elongation). The force acts along the length of the spring.
Damping Force – Damping force is calculated as (Damping Factor * velocity) and acts to resist motion.
