CMASS4
Bulk Data Entry Defines a scalar mass element that is connected only to scalar points, without reference to a property entry.

Definitions
| Field | Contents | SI Unit Example |
|---|---|---|
| EID | Unique element
identification number. No default (Integer > 0) |
|
| M | Scalar mass value. No default (Real) |
|
| S1, S2 | Scalar point
identification numbers. S1 or S2, but not both, may be blank or zero, indicating a constrained coordinate. This is the usual case. Default = 0 (Integer ≥ 0; S1 ≠ S2) |
Comments
- Only one scalar mass element may be defined on a single entry.
- A scalar point specified on this entry does not need to be defined on a SPOINT Bulk Data Entry.
- This single entry completely defines the element since no material or geometric properties are required.
- Scalar mass elements are ignored in heat transfer analysis.
- This card is represented as a spring or mass element in HyperMesh.
