   Hi all,

   Wishing you a good day.

   How to add mass at the free end of cantilever?

   (In general FEM, we add the point mass directly in Mass matrix, in corresponding degree of freedom).

   Regards,

   You can either change the code or modeling it as a small segment of beam with mass and very large stiffness. ---- Emailed forum response from wenbinyu@purdue.edu
