How to apply acceleration due to gravity

[Trish]

Hello all,

I would like to ask. How to apply acceleration due to gravity in openseespy. I am using SSP Brick Up element. Is it enough if I gave (0,0,-9.81) in the place of body forces for the element.

Thank you in advance for the reply.

Yes, use body forces. Make a minimal working example to learn what works for what you're trying to do
