Spring construction

The spring construction consists of two rectangular plates with four spring leaves between them. The springs are symmetrical with respect to forces in x, y and z directions.

*

The outer rectangular plate together with the spring leaves consists of the same face. The inner rectangulare plate is a different face and has set different wall thickness in the C-A command file. In the picture at the right hand side the transition between the two part is clearly visible with the straight mesh line.

In the python script the geometry and the mesh are defined.
