Point Mass in Static simulation

rex.he

Can I use point mass during the Gload simulation? I saw the mass of these point mass is not considered in the Gload simulation.
 
Is there a better way to apply point mass?
 
Thanks!

    Point mass only works in dynamic analysis. In static analysis, you can apply point load (mass*g) directly.
