Hello, how can I add/assign nodal mass to a specific node in my model?

Thanks

In Condition-> Mass
you can choose among:
NodalMass (mass assigned to a vertex)
EdgeMass (mass per unit length, assigned to an edge)
FaceMass (mass per unit face, assigned to a face)
VolumeMass (mass per unit volume, assigned to a solid)

The last 3 are automation that allow you to assign a distributed mass on a geometry, then STKO will take care of doing a consistent nodal lumping, obtaining the correct nodal masses to be used with the -mass option in the node command.
