Create_NodalMass
Purpose
free dof lumped mass vector for structural model
Synopsis
Ml = Create_NodalMass (Model,Me)
Description
CREATE_NODALMASS free dof lumped mass vector for structural model ML = CREATE_NODALMASS (MODEL,ME) the function sets up the free dof lumped mass vector ML for the structural model specified in data structure MODEL from the specified nodal lumped mass values in array ME in which rows correspond to node numbers and columns to dof direction Example: ME(5,:) = [20 20 0]; lumped mass value in X and Y at node 5; no rotary inertia
