How to use MASS 21 element?

How to use MASS 21 element?

(OP)
I want to use Mass 21 element as part of my program but im unsure of how to use it and cant seem to find much information on it.

Basically i want to know what real constants it needs. I know it is mass in each axis and inertia around each axis but how does one calculate what these would be?

RE: How to use MASS 21 element?

Have you tried looking in the Ansys user manual (do a search for MASS21). It's, like, really helpful and stuff, especially for all things Ansys related.

Yup, element reference guide isn't very clear, too brief, and it isnt in my copy of the theory reference for some reason. If i could be directed to a copy of the theory reference with this element in it that would be awesome.  

RE: How to use MASS 21 element?

google:
Element/Theory Reference Ansys

First results is what you are looking for both cases.
