File Creation

This file is created when MEFFMASS with TYPE = COMP or PROP or SET = ID is used.

File Contents

This file contains the modal participation factor, modal participation factor ratio, modal effective mass, and modal effective mass fraction values.

• When TYPE of COMP is used, the output is printed to this file based on HyperMesh components.

            Component <HyperMesh_component_name>

• When TYPE of PROP is used, the output is printed to this file based on property ID.

  Property        <property_ID>
