Dear Seismosoft support,

I would like to do some dynamic analysis on Ch4-steel-1 in verification report, but it does not have mass with it, thus the results for current dynamic analysis is not reasonable. Is Seismostruct software can convert vertical load to mass? If Seismostruct can not do this, could you please suggest me how can I convert vertical load to mass?

Thank you very much.

Dear Zhwang,

You may define mass from Loads , point and distributed, applied in the gravity direction ONLY, and its value is based on the g value. This option is available in the Gravity & Mass module of the Project Settings.
