Help: defining mass of discrete rigid body

Help: defining mass of discrete rigid body

Help: defining mass of discrete rigid body

(OP)
Hello all,

I have a problem when I am trying to define de mass of a discrete
rigid body.
I know that is necesary to define a reference node for each rigid
body.

after that, What I must make to end up defining the mass of the
rigid solid.

Please, somebody can help me, I need it to be able to follow ahead
with my work.

I have tried to do the following thing:

 Module Property -- >section --> create --> Point -->...click in the
corresponding square I put the mass in kg. soon....Assign -->
section --->... and tip in the reference node but when  I calculate
for different values from the mass and in all the cases I obtain the
same one deformed of the plate donates hits the rigid solid and I
know that this is not possible since to greater greater mass of the
rigid solid they would have to be the damages on the plate.

somebody could say to me that I am making bad?


Thanks,

Irene

Do you use mass scaling?

No I don“t use mass scaling? What implications have their use?

Thanks in advance
