Concentrated nodal mass (tensor of moments of inertia)

Definition of moments of inertia of nodal masses for dynamic analyses. The values are defined as forces and internally converted to true mass inertia values 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.

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*Imx, g*Imy, g*Imz Diagonal members of the tensor (related to global directions).
