Description: Mass properties calculation method. Two methods are available for the calculation of mass properties: MATRIX and VECTOR. The MATRIX method is the most accurate, but is more time consuming and not efficient unless a coupled mass matrix formulation is requested (see the Geometry Processor parameter, COUPMASS, in Section 5, Parameters, for more information). AUTO selects the most efficient method based on the type of mass matrix formulated.
Option/Type:
| MATRIX |
| VECTOR |
| AUTO |
Default: AUTO
