# Study 02 — Stiffness Sweep (Method B)
**Type:** Parametric — CBUSH Spring-to-Ground Sweep
**Runs:** 22 (2 validation + 10 K_vert sweep + 10 K_lat sweep)
**Model:** CBUSH elements at 5 interface points, offset ground nodes (10mm Z)
## What This Does
Replaces fixed BCs with CBUSH springs. Sweeps translational stiffness from 1e4 → 1e10 N/m on log scale. Two independent campaigns:
- Campaign 1: Sweep K_vert (laterals rigid)
- Campaign 2: Sweep K_lat (verticals rigid)
Finds the **knee point** where ΔWFE crosses the 1.0 nm budget.
## .sim Setup Required
1. Create 5 ground nodes (offset 10mm in Z from each support node)
2. SPC 123456 on all ground nodes
3. Remove existing SPCs on 5 support nodes
4. Create 5 CBUSH elements (support → ground, global coords)
5. Create 2 PBUSH properties: 8001 (vertical, K=$K_vert) and 8002 (lateral, K=$K_lat)
6. Create 2 NX expressions: `K_vert`, `K_lat` (default = 1e12)
## Extractor
Same as Study 01: Zernike annular OPD, 50 modes, J5+ filtered, annular aperture.
## Output
ΔWFE vs K curves → knee points → recommended minimum stiffness for StarSpec.
