Point mass and rigid body in CCX

Tim_GowingTim_Gowing
Victor,
I'm currently applying several point masses to a CCX analysis.
Could the internal Mass (loads & constrains) be translated into a CCX feature?
Alternatively, could the CCX custom element type dialogue include a point element?
Another alternative, could the element numbers be offset from 1 to allow user defined *ELEMENTS to be defined in the low numbers (to allow continued building of the model without adjusting the user defined *ELEMENTS in the CCX custom model definition).
Also I'm using *RIGID BODY to attach the point masses; could a rigid body be an additional CCX feature available for the right mouse button drop-down on a node selection. The *RIGID BODY definition needs only the NSET.
kind regards,
Tim

    Maybe related, can the de center of gravity computed also once the densities are defined??

    Yes, I'll add point mass for CCX soon.

    Center of gravity is going on the list but I can't promise.

    Hi Victor,
    Thank you for the point mass confirmation.
    Is the *RIGID BODY possible?
    My top wish for Mecway is to define a *EQUATION statement, one dependent, multiple independent nodes. I define many *EQUATIONs in the CCX custom model definition (manually keeping track of the node groups is quite demanding); this custom definition is extremely useful, all the same.

    Yes, I intend to add rigid body too.

    That's great, it's all much appreciated :)
