Creating a Non-Structural Mass

This task will show you how to create a Mass Surface Density on the surface geometry supports. In this example, you will distribute a mass density of 50kg/m2 on several faces of your part. 

 

1. Select the Masses.1 objects set in the specification tree to make it active.

2. Click the Surface Mass Density icon .
The Surface Mass Density dialog box appears.

3. Select the faces on which you will distribute a mass density.
Red symbols representing the Mass Surface Density are displayed.

4. Enter a new Mass Density in the Surface Mass Density dialog box. In this particular case, enter 50kg_m2.

5. Click OK in the Surface Mass Density dialog box.

The Surface Mass Density.1 object is now inserted under the Masses.1 object set in the specification tree.
