Hi there!
I'm using ANSYS mechanical and I'm not sure what to input into elastic support stiffness.
I went through these:
http://ansys.net/ansys/tips/EFS.pdf
http://www.naun.org/main/NAUN/mechanics/d022003-118.pdf
They do give theoretical idea.

But how do you determine elastic support stiffness e.g. as a function Young's modulus, poission ratio etc so that you can apply in the software?

Thanks!
