 ===== Interaction =====
-Finally, once the ''Spring[2|3]DElement'' ''[[#Elément|ElementProperties]]'' is defined, the corresponding interaction is generated with the ''FieldApplicator''. To do son the corresponding geometric mesh element must be generated using [[doc:user:geometry:mesh:1D]]. Once done, the interaction can be defined and included in the ''interactionset'':
