    Body forces

    Use this dialog to define is a static load that includes added masses.

    Access
    • Click on the Self-weight and mass tab of the Load Definition dialog.
    Acceleration
    Specify the acceleration vector in the X, Y, and Z directions of the global coordinate system.
    Relative x g
    Determines the acceleration in relation to the acceleration of gravity g.
    Select this option to treat the specified value as a value of the a/g factor.
    Apply to
    Select where the load should be applied.
