SAP2000 Acceleration User-Defined Dead Loads

[kgengr]

Hello,
For acceleration load cases, does SAP2000 [automatically] accelerate/include user-defined dead loads (point or distributed) or only masses?

Thanks

it's the mass that get accelerated. Not the Weight.

Validate that your mass source is well defined.

Thanks Pico.
If you are looking at a floor framing and inputting a mass to account for the diaphragm - for acceleration in x and y, do I need to input mass in x and y? My plan is to use shells as it will be easier in this case, but am still curious for other applications.
