Mass distribution

(OP)
Hello,

I need to know the mass of each story of my building. By this i wish to output a list of mass along the building's height at points corresponding to those where my stories are defined.

Hope someone can help me.

RE: Mass distribution

You should be able to do this by displaying modal information from the print tables menu.

RE: Mass distribution

(OP)
Thanks for your reply slickdeals

Could you be more specific with regards to which table?

As far as i can see only the building modes diagram lists date for each storey, but the only data here are the displacements of each mode.

RE: Mass distribution

after analyzing your model:
goto display menu\Show tables
analysis results -> building output -> table: center mass rigidity
it shows story, diaphragm, Xc, Yc , mass X , mass Y
