Nodal Masses

Use this dialog to add nodal masses to structure nodes for structure dynamic analysis or for static calculations when forces are generated for body loads (body forces as well as centrifugal and angular acceleration forces) and self-weight.



Access
  • Click on the Self-weight and mass tab of the Load Definition dialog.
Values of weight
Specify the masses m, and mass inertia values l acting along the X, Y, and Z axis of the global coordinate system.
Apply to All Cases
Adds the defined mass to all the dynamic cases defined for the structure.
