How can I add a force in the direction of 2 points? For example, I have a muscle force that I would like to apply to my FE model. I don't want to model the whole muscle in PreView/FEBio, just the line of action. Any suggestions? Many people just put 2D spring elements in and apply the force to the spring. Is there a way to do this in PreView?
You can define spring elements in FEBio, but this feature is not yet supported in PreView. If you want, you can make a feature request on the forum and I'll add it to the new PreView that I will be posting on the web pretty soon.
Cheers,

Hi Steve,
Have you added the spring element to the preview? I need to apply force to the springs which I used as crucite ligaments in my knee model. If yes, could you please let me know how can I apply it?
