Simulate Dead Load due to self-weight
Simulate Dead Load due to self-weight
(OP)
Dear Forum Members:
I would appreciate if you can give me some hints about:
(a) How to simulate the 'dead load' due to self-weight for a structure.
(b) Do we need to apply 'dead load' and 'live load' in two different STEPs.
Thank you in advance.

You can impose dead and live loads together in the same step, but as you appear to be referring to a design standard then I would follow their rules for assessing each load case. You can combine multiple loads later in Viewer if you wish.

F = ma
F = density * volume * a
and make sure the young modules and the true stress in material use the same order of unit too.
