To add self weight to a load group
To add element self weight to the current load group, use the following procedure.
The program considers self-weight of the
members, plates, and solids within the model. The density of the specified material is
used for the calculation. The self-weight of every element will be calculated and
applied as a uniformly distributed member load. The self weight of plates are placed at
the plate joints, regardless of the plate releases.
