Spring Modelling and loading
 

we are doing a project in ANSYS 13.0. Topic is '" ANALYSIS OF SHAPE MEMORY ALLOY" .We have done the simulation on a beam and an aerofoil.For the validation we need to do the same with a spring.
We modeled the spring,but we need to compress the spring.But it is difficult by fixing the end nodes and applying the load in nodes because the nodes are in different plane.So we need an alternate method for the compression loading........Kindly suggest a method :)
