Hi Everyone,
An error keeps coming up when trying to run a dynamic analysis of pedetrians loading. The error is "No unsupported massed entered- check densities.
Try just about everything i know, can't seems to find the solution to the error. Will be glad if anyone can help.
Hellow,
I am also facing the same problem for a simple cantilever beam with a dynamic load applied to it. I am not sure but the problem can be with the software lumping the mass to the support. But, I have no idea what to do with this idea in mind. Can anyone please help on this? Thank you
That was helpful to me as well doing spectrum seismic analysis. So, i entered forces rather than masses and made sure all magnitude is positive. I'm a bit perplexed at the Modal calculation, sir could you elaborate further on this part... definition, procedure and other basics that we( begginer) needs to know.
When MODAL CALCULATION REQUESTED is used, the software carries out an eigensolution and reports the modes and the frequencies. This command is typically used when you want to know the structural frequencies but do not need to get into a detailed dynamic analysis like a response spectrum or a time history. However when you are doing a response spectrum or time history analysis, the software automatically does the modal calculations and you do not need to use the MODAL CALCULATION REQUESTED command. You can find more details on this at section 5.34.2 of the technical reference manual titled Modal Calculation Command.
