g = Gravitational acceleration [m / s 2 ]
m j (S) = Singular mass acting on typical finite element node j [t]
n = Live load participation coefficient
w j (S) = Typical finite element node j singular weight acting [kN]
w G, j (S) = single constant weight acting on typical finite element node j [kN]
w Q, j (S) = typical finite element node j acting singular additional (live load effect) weight [kN]
G = constant load effect
Q = Live load effect

The masses formed at the nodes of the finite elements of the structure under the effect of fixed and live loads are calculated automatically in accordance with the above conditions. The following figure shows the finite element joints of a system consisting of bar and shell elements. Masses calculated according to the above criteria are defined at these nodes. In this case, the individual masses are automatically defined to take into account the effects of fixed and live load on the joints at the two ends of the frame elements and the joints at the four ends of the shell elements.
