Point Mass
Use the Point Mass node to model a discrete mass or mass moment of inertia that is concentrated at a point.
The Point Mass Damping subnode can be added to specify a mass-proportional damping.
Coordinate System Selection
With the Coordinate system list, control the coordinate system around the axis of which the principal mass moment of inertias are defined.
Point Mass
Enter a Point mass m.
Enter a single value for an isotropic Mass moment of inertia J, or select Diagonal or Symmetric to enter a full moment of inertia tensor.
Frame Acceleration Forces
Click to select the Exclude contribution check box to switch off the loads that can be caused by the point mass when the frame is accelerated when using a Gravity or Rotating Frame feature. The setting will also determine whether the node will contribute when Computing Mass Properties.
