Self-Weight and Mass

Topics in this section
  • Self-Weight Load
    Use this dialog to define self-weight loads acting in a particular direction for structure elements.
  • Body forces
    Use this dialog to define is a static load that includes added masses.
  • Body Forces
    Body forces are static loads that include added masses.
  • Centrifugal and angular acceleration forces
    Use this dialog to define loads caused by centrifugal and angular acceleration forces.
  • Centrifugal and angular acceleration forces
    Centrifugal and angular acceleration forces are static loads that consider added masses.
  • 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.
  • Member Mass Dialog
    Use this dialog to add masses to members 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.
  • Automatic Assigning of a Self-weight Load to the Whole Structure
