Hi George P Johnson

 

Thank you for ur quick response/emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20' />

 

 

I have another question, is it possible to define gravity load for a particular node, instead of whole structure.

Hi Nagesha,

 

Try ACCEL1 which applies acceleration loads at specific GRID points on model.
