Creating a Non-structural Mass

This task will show you how to create a Mass Surface Density on the surface geometry supports. In this example, you will distribute a mass density of 50kg/m2 on several faces of your part. 

1. Click Surface Mass Density in the Masses toolbar.

   The Surface Mass Density dialog box appears. You can see that a Surface Mass Density.1 object is now inserted under the Masses.1 object set in the specification tree.

2. Select the faces on which you will distribute a mass density.

   Red symbols representing the Mass Surface Density are displayed.

3. Enter a new Mass Density in the Surface Mass Density dialog box. In this particular case, enter 50kg_m2.

4. Click OK.

   Note that the invalid symbol has disappeared in the specification tree.
