Elements With Spring Physical Properties

The ELAS2 element should be assigned spring properties thus:

PROPERTY PHYSICAL GENERAL [propname] spring-rate damping-rate stress-coeff [d.o.f.]

Where d.o.f. is zero an ELAS2 element will be generated for d.o.f's 1, 2, and 3. Where d.o.f. is non-zero one ELAS2 element will be generated for d.o.f.
