Gravity Load

Altair Forum User

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.

As i know HM won't apply any G-force if you don't select one ...

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.
