The spring channel does not use simplified units, and uses a solid grid instead, so that the problem that the rigidity of a structure near a spring pad cannot be accurately described by using a common RBE3 unit can be avoided, and a more accurate stress result can be obtained. In one example, the stress difference between the algorithm and the traditional RBE3 inertia release algorithm is between 50MPa and 150 MPa.
