For all Structural analysis should i include gravity load? If not, will HM automatically consider the gravity effect? Can anyone clarify this? Thanks in advance.

    Hello,

    for the most solvers you have to define gravity explicit.

    Example: Radioss Bulk Format, Nastran

    Create a Load Collector of type GRAV and specify your gravity values in the card editor.
