Assigning selfweight of structure [SOLVED]

[perbhagen]

Hi!

Since I’m quite new to both FEM Design and FEM Design API, I am struggling with a bit basic stuff.. Would it be possible to get any guidance on how I could assign self weight to my structure in Grasshopper?

Just make empty Load Case with type “DEAD LOAD

M Design and FEM Design API, I am struggling with a bit basic stuff.. Would it be possible to get any guidance on how I could assign self weight to my structure in Grasshopper?

Just make Empty load case with type “dead load” and dead load of plates, walls and beams should be generated automatically according to volume of beams and shells and density. Gravity vector is default 0,0,-9,81… each model shold have just one “dead load” type load case. There are other auto generated load cases like “shrinkage” and few others.
