Weight of Elements as Node Load - FSY

The self weight of a series of elements - active or inactive - is applied on a structural node force and bending moment. A typical application is the application of self weight of a new segment of a balanced cantilever.

Note: For detailed load explanation see also RM Bridge Load Types Library .

Setting	Description
From, To, Step	Series of elements, whose weight is applied as concentrated load at a certain node
Assembly	Alternative to load assignment via element series: Name of the assembly to be loaded. The specified load is applied to every element of the specified assembly.
Node	Node, where the loading is applied.
Gamma	Specific weight of the elements Default: When entering no value or zero, the program takes from the material table the respective value of the assigned material
Ex, Ey, Ez	Load eccentricity relative to the loaded node in terms of global coordinates Note: You must input the eccentricity, the program does not calculate the center of gravity of the applied element series weight.
