*NONSTRUCTURAL MASS

Set DISTRIBUTION=VOLUME PROPORTIONALto distribute the total nonstructural mass

among the members of the element set region in proportion to the element volume in the initial

conﬁguration. A uniform value is added to the underlying structural density over the element set

region; therefore, if the region has nonuniform structural density, the center of m ass for the element

set region may be altered.

Data line for UNITS=TOTAL MASS:

First (and only) line:

1. Massmagnitude of the nonstruc tural feature for distribution over the element set region. Mass,

not weight, should be given.

ABAQUS does not use any speciﬁc physical units, so the user ’schoice m ust be consistent.

Data line for UNITS=MASS PER VOLUME:

First (and only) line:

1. Massper unit volume of the nonstructural feature for application over the element set region.

ABAQUS does not use any speciﬁc physical units, so the user ’schoice m ust be consistent.

Data line for UNITS=MASS PER AREA:

First (and only) line:

1. Massper uni ta rea of the nonstructural feature for application over the element set region.

ABAQUS does not use any speciﬁc physical units, so the user ’schoice m ust be consistent.

Data line for UNITS=MASS PER LENGTH:

First (and only) line:

1. Massper unit le ngth of the nonstructural feature for application over the element set region.

ABAQUS does not use any speciﬁc physical units, so the user ’schoice m ust be consistent.
