Concentrated nodal mass + eccentricity

Definition of eccentric concentrated nodal masses for the dynamic analysis. Masses are defined as forces and internally converted to true masses by using the acceleration of gravity (see Calculation options - Dynamic).

Note: For detailed load explanation see also RM Bridge Load Types Library .
Note: Loads of this type do not apply to static calculations.
SettingDescription
From, To, Step Node series, where the masses are applied
Assembly Alternative to load assignment via node series: Name of the assembly to be loaded. The specified load is applied to every node of the specified assembly.
g*mx, g*my, g*mz Concentrated nodal mass forces (mass times acceleration) in global directions
Note: The same value must be entered for all 3 directions! (mass is scalar value)
ex,ey,ez Global eccentricities of the nodal point mass.
