Hi,

I have used the Grav card for 1G loading of the chassis.

my doubt here is:

Would the gravity load that I have assigned, be taken up by all the elements of the chassis??

As I see no provision to assign a set in the GRAV card.

    Yes the grav load will be applicable to all the elements of the chassis(ie all component).

    Hi,

    A gravity load is valid for the entire model, as written in the helpfile: Defines the gravity vectors for use in determining gravity loading for the structural model.

    This requires the definition of a density. So you can organize your model, if you need.

    Regards,

    Mario

    PS: This is valid for implicit solutions, e.g. Radioss bulk or Nastran
