Non-Linear spring set_Spring force

[jkimx024]

Could you explain the meaning of spring force for nonlinear spring in preview?
I know that the nonlinear spring will be defined by the loadcurve that will be used for the force-displacement relation.
However, I don't know the meaning of the spring force in the preview?

Hi,

In previous versions of FEBio, this parameter scaled the load curve. However, in FEBio3, nonlinear springs are defined differently. There is currently a fix in place for backward compatibility, but it ignores this values and only looks at the load curve. I'll see if I can address that, but in the meantime, I recommend that for nonlinear springs, leave the force parameter to one, and only use the load curve for setting the force-displacement curve. Let us know if you experience issue with this feature.

Cheers,

Steve
