Distributed Mass for line elements

[IsmBaha]

I wonder if there is a way to simply assign masses to line elements (just using mass/length) without needing to create many nodes and assigning concentrated/lumped masses to each node?

Sincerely Yours,
Baha

I don't think there is a way to assign mass/unit length along the elements. It is usually done by distributing the masses on the nodes based on their tributary lengths.
