Defining more springs/joints quickly in AIM 2020R1

  Hello!
  
  Can I somehow define more springs/joints at "one click" based on Selection Sets? If I select spring Location 1-2 based on Selection Sets including more edges then only one spring generated for all edges and not one spring for each edge-pairs, see below.

  Hello Tamas
  
  You can set a common Spring Behaviour, but the Spring interface needs to be defined individually. Using a selection set to define it, will distribute the Stiffness behaviour, which may not be exactly what you wish to input.

  Hello Subashni
  
  Thank you for your reply. Then it would be great to have an intelligent generator in AIM for such cases as well (not for contacts only), e.g. Object Generator in Workbench.
