&lt;p&gt;This could be important as it may affect member design for response spectrum analysis. For example, minor axis bending of beam due uniformly distributed mass along a beam will not be captured in the design.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Ask A Question I</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/achievements/460ac7df-7ccc-4c42-a204-9e05eef3be09</link><pubDate>Tue, 07 Mar 2023 05:21:05 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:8e10daf4-8b67-4615-990a-c414883927b5</guid><dc:creator /><description>Ask a question in a forum.</description></item></channel></rss>
