Why not?

AndreaAndrea
I'm setting up a frequency analysis but I receive the attached message applying gravity load.

Why is not possible?
I tried to apply Dload by custom mode but Mecway ignore it.

    You might have attached the wrong image.

    Gravity should be OK though. You also have to add the stress stiffening under Loads & Constraints which triggers a *STATIC step to obtain stress which is used for a subsequent *FREQUENCY step.

    Custom step contents adds things to the *STATIC step, not the *FREQUENCY step, which I don't think is supposed to have any loads. Without stress stiffening, there's no *STATIC step to put the loads in.

    OK... to add the parameter "perturbation" is possible only activating "stress stiffening". I tried modifying the inp file.

    PS Gravity could be applied for example to calculate period of body like a physical pendulum

    Excuse...the right one attached

    That should be right. Stress stiffening plus gravity specified through the Mecway interface would turn a pendulum into an equivalent spring.
