Dynamic analysis with consistent mass matrix in Sap2000
- Thread starter JoeH78
- Start date
As explained in Analysis Reference Manual,
"In a dynamic analysis, the mass of the structure is used to compute inertial forces.
The mass contributed by the Frame element is lumped at the joints I and j. No inertial
effects are considered within the element it self."
There is no option (that I know) to use a different kind of mass matrix.
