Question: How can I define the moments of inertia for an OptiStruct CONM2 element within the HyperMesh Preprocessor?

Answer:
1) Please create the mass element through the 1D --> Masses Panel (Mesh --> Create --> Masses, if you want to access the panel via pulldown menu).
2) Afterwards, go to the 'Card Edit' Menu that you will find within the toolbar --> see the attached screenshot
3) Select all the elements that you want to edit. If you select multiple elements, please choose also the correct type and card image (mass and CONM2) --> hit the edit button
4) Select the continuation line and enter the moments of inertia for your selected elements

Kind Regards
