1. An apparatus for virtually changing an elastic component of an elastic system and simulating the effect of this virtual change, comprising:

  • means for determining the transfer function of an elastic component;

    an input means for inputting a transfer function for a virtual elastic component said virtual elastic component representing an elastic component in said elastic system;

    first arithmetic means for calculating a ratio between the transfer function of the elastic component and the transfer function of the virtual elastic component;

    means for determining a transfer function of a virtual elastic system from said ratio; and

    means for using said transfer function of a virtual elastic system to simulate the effect of using a virtual component in said elastic system.
