Mass element

 

A mass element is used to represent a lumped mass.

 

     RecurDyn/FFlex uses a lumped mass concept for each node with the other elements, so the inertia of nodes is ignored.

     However, all of the mass moment of inertia effects defined in the element property is considered if you use a mass element.

     Using the element, a very stiff body that is assumed as a rigid body will be considered efficiently.
