mass and selfweight of members

Post by mehabb »

Is selfweight of elements of structure (e.g. beams and columns) and
extera mass that define by user in section definition, automatically convert to mx,my,mz and rotational masses? or only mz is considered by program?

Thanks

Hi Mehabb,

The mass that you define in the sections menu is a mass/length, thus mx, my and mz.
The global mass directions as well as the gravity direction can be defined in the menu: Project Settings/Gravity and mass.

Cheers,
Romain
