The Define Point Element Properties option allows you to define
point element properties. These properties correspond to Nastran CONM2
element properties, which are mainly to define the mass values.
By defining individual point masses as separate parts, they are conveniently grouped under the Display Tree for easy manipulation.
- Part
specifies the part for which the point properties will be assigned.
- PID
This is grayed out by default.
- Properties Type
The only type of point element property is Mass Point.
- Mass Type
There are two options for Mass Types:
CONM1
The general form of defining a mass element.
CONM2
A more specific means of defining a mass element.
- Scalar Mass
specifies the value for the scalar mass (SI units).
