mass condition value

Post by jpereirasan » Tue Jul 02, 2024 5:00 am

Dear STKO Team

I am performing a 2D nonlinear dynamic analysis of a soil slope. I am using the PDMY02 model and the SSPQuad-UP element.

I understand that to get the results it is necessary to use the mass command, in my 2D model I used it as FaceMass.

What numerical value should go there? I am using a material with density 1.46 T/m3 and the slope area is 80 m2.
(g = 9.81 m/s2)

Best regards.

You can apply face mass considering how it is represented from the following figure.
