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.
