Dear, 

 

Can anyone tell me how to get percentage of addmass per each part in radioss ? 

I run a big model include some elements that have low value of time step. So i use mass scaling, but i don't know how to get the percentage of addmass per each part when i done with running.

 

Please help me.

    Hi,

     

    as far as I know, there is no simple way to get the percentage of added mass per each part (part mass output using /TH/PART does not include the mass added, due to mass scaling). 

     

    Using the animation output option /ANIM/NODA/DMASS or /H3D/NODA/DMASS, the relative mass increase per node can be visualized in a post-processor as a contour plot.
