Node Attributes: Moment

Description

Assigns point moments to selected nodes using three orthogonal components and a coordinate system.

Moment attributes are load case dependent.

Dialog

Moment X / Y / Z

Three components of moment vector.

Coordinate System

The coordinate system (UCS) in which the moment components are defined.

The UCS is used only to define the global Cartesian components of the moment. Subsequent changes to the UCS do not affect the direction or magnitude of the moment.
