Dear salam.a.alrubaye,
please note Spring elements in ATENA are available for spring supports, not for connecting neighbouring elements.

For besic information about Contact elements, please see ATENA Troubleshooting, 2.2.14 I have problems when using the Interface (GAP) material on contacts (the document is included in ATENA installation and also available for separate download from our web under Products - ATENA - Documentation).

If you are not sure how to model, you can also follow Troubleshooting, 2.1.1 to send us sketches+description on what you are modelling, and we usually can recommend a reasonable way.

Best regards.

Dear
I want to model connector between two concrete wythes as a spring element. The spring has stiffnesses in two directions. In the manual, I only found one joint spring element.
Thanks
