Hi,

I am looking for two features

  1. Define mass property and assign them to nodes

ggym plugin allows to define mass property, but I cannot assign them to any Nodes.

Here’s an example of using a mass property to generate a mass element.

Let me know if this isn’t what you are looking for or generates what you need.
I’ll come back to you about material curves. We can certainly support this, features like this are enabled in an agile manner.

John,

Thanks for that,

Thanks for reporting this, seems this isn’t a feature that has been used in latest version of GSA.
I’ve just revised the component in the lastest plugin on rhino package manager, if you can please update and test the attached revised example.

I notice Oasys has released an addin for GSA - but ggymGSA is leap years beyod that

Love using your Plugin.

Doing the Material Curves + General spring manually for now.
It would be really helpfull if you can push an update for that too.

Thanks for the encouraging feedback, it’s always nice to hear.
Adding material curves was reasonably easy, so I’ve done that in the latest build.
I’ve also fixed the node spring property issue you recognized.
Here is an example script, update the plugin again from package manager.

Let me know if you have other requests or problems.

Cheers,
