Could you kindly show me how to use the material's self-weight (unit weight) in micro-models? For instance, I created a URM wall with the DamageTC3D material and the ASDEAShell element. Now, where in the model can the self-weight of the material be applied/accounted for? Thank you very much.

In Condition->Loads->Force->FaceForce
Here you need to insert a pressure (force per unit area), so it is the self weight times the thickness
