Hi,

I have modeled a quite simple truss-model using the mechanical engineering module:
- A truss is connected to a spring.
- The truss is pinned at end.
- At the end of the spring a force of 10N is applied.

The expected result would be a continuous axial force along the truss and the spring.

However, the result computed by comsol is an axial force of 10N along the truss (as expected) but only 5N along the spring. How is that? What is my mistake?

I'm very glad about some hints.

best regards
Kai
