Element uniform mass + eccentricity
Definition of eccentrically acting uniformly distributed element masses for dynamic analyses. Note that masses are defined as forces and internally converted to true masses by dividing by the gravity constant g (see Calculation options - Dynamic)
Setting | Description |
---|---|
From, To, Step | Series of elements, where the masses are applied |
g*mx, g*my, g*mz | Distributed element mass forces (masses/length-unit times acceleration of gravity) Components in local directions. |
g*Imx | Distributed element mass moment of inertia in local x direction (Torsion). |
ey,ez | Eccentricities of distributed element masses, measured from the system line. |
