SOLVERS Home: Non-structural Mass Added to Mass Matrix

Description

Selects load cases that contain non-structural mass attributes to be added to the global mass matrix in addition to the structural mass.

The actual non-structural mass used by the solver will be dependent on the Dynamic Factor set when specifying the non-structural mass attribute (i.e., the mass included in the mass matrix is the mass value times the dynamic factor). See Special Topics: Non-structural Mass for more information.

Selections

Selects the entire list of load cases, clears the entire list of load cases or inverts the current selections.
