Element mass

Post by smailk »

Dear All,

Do they elements' masses are taken into account just by defining for example elasticBeamColumn ?

Thank you beforehand.

Smail.

hi
yes you can allocate mass of element by use -mass at end of command(elasticBeamColumn) . attention : the mass is ::: element mass per unit length
