Enter the self-weight of elements included in the model as applied loads, or modify or delete previously entered self-weight. The computed self-weight can be applied in each GCS X, Y and Z direction as a body force for static analysis. When considering the effects of self-weight in dynamic analysis computations, the option can be considered through the Project Setting function.
▒Methodology
Input the factor for the self-weight application direction in Project settings depending on the work environment (2D/3D). The volume, density and gravitational acceleration of the input element is used to automatically compute the self-weight included in the analysis model. The self-weight direction is defined by a unit vector. The default value for the gravitational direction is set as -1.
[Spatial Distribution]
The ‘Generalized Space Function’ can be applied in the ‘Self Weight’. The input of ‘Generalized Space Function’ is applied by scaling according to the location.
