Remote masses can represent the mass of components that do not change the structure of the current model. For example, when you analyze a part that is rigidly connected to other parts, you can define and position the mass components of those parts to simulate their impact accurately without adding the parts to the assembly. Remote masses are applied at one or more points within the existing model. Using masses simplifies the simulation model. Well-defined masses require less setup and computational expense than a complete model, while still delivering results that account for the parts that are not included. | |||||||||
