# Consider housing stiffness

When this option is set, an additional page for definition of a housing stiffness matrix is shown in the system tree. See [Housing stiffness matrix](housing_stiffness_matrix.md) for details of usage.

A housing stiffness can also be considered by using [3D elastic part as housing](3d_elastic_part_as_housing.md), this would be easier to use compared to a raw stiffness matrix.
