Specifying a Mass

To specify a mass:
  1. Select Mass from the dropdown menu of the Structural tool in the Physics group of the Simulation tab, or by selecting the Mass tool in the Structural condition HUD.
  2. Select the geometry to define the location; the mass uses the centroid of the selected geometry as the origin.

    If your model contains Named Selections, you can click Advanced filters, select Link named selections, and choose one from the list.

  3. To define a mass as originating on an arbitrary point in space, select Use remote point. Discovery automatically chooses a point in space, shown by an arrow, but you can also enter the coordinates as X, Y, and Z values.
  4. Specify the Mass value.
