Zero Length Orientation

[Halim]

Hello everyone,
I am new with OpenSEES,
=====================
I am modeling a beam with bending spring at the two ends. The spring properties are different in the two rotating (clockwise and counterclockwise) directions. I want them rotate opposite to each other (one clockwise the other counterclockwise, simultaneously).

Does the default setting (coincide with the global axes axes 6 for Z) work for this case?, If No, can anyone explain how to change their direction/orientation? ( local axis 6 is axis of rotation).

Looking forward to your responses.

yes, direction 6 is for the rotational spring about z axis.
