For anyone interested, I have found a plausible solution to approximating nodal mass.
First, construct and mesh the part. Create a "Static-General" step. For boundary conditions, fix all nodes (Encastre- both rotation and translation). For load conditions, create a gravity field with...
Good afternoon,
I am a new Abaqus user, and had some questions regarding nodal mass. I am using Abaqus to design a plate (planar shell elements w/ thickness) and extract mode shape data. Ideally, I would like to import all necessary data into Matlab to conduct some simulations. Of the data I...
