Scalar Mass Property and Connection
Description: Defines a scalar mass element without reference to a property entry.
Format:
Example:
| Field | Definition | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| EID | Element identification number. | Integer > 0 | Required |
| M | Mass value. | Real | Required |
| G1, G2 | Grid point identification numbers of connection points. | Integer > 0 | See Remark 2 |
| C1, C2 | Component numbers. | 0 ≤ Integer ≤ 6 | See Remark 2 |
Remarks:
- Element identification numbers must be unique with respect to all other element identification numbers.
- A blank may be used to indicate a grounded terminal G1 or G2 with a corresponding blank or zero C1 or C2. A grounded terminal is a point whose displacement is constrained to zero.
- The two connection points (G1, C1) and (G2, C2) must not be coincident.
- A scalar point specified on this entry need not be defined on an SPOINT entry.
