Selfweight tab

Used to apply the selfweight of the structure as a load. Selfweight of all active components of the structure are calculated and applied as a uniformly distributed load.

Note: The material (or the density parameter) of the members must be defined before this command is used.

Setting	Description
Direction	Specify the direction in which the selfweight load is to be applied by clicking on the X, Y, or Z buttons.
Factor	Specify the factor with which the calculated selfweights are to be multiplied. A negative value indicates that the load is applied along the negative direction of the chosen axis.
