Question:
In RF‑/DYNAM Pro, the "From self-weight of structure" option is available in a mass case. Is it always necessary to activate this option in order to consider the dead load of the structure?
Answer:
No, this option does not necessarily have to be activated to consider the dead load. If the masses are imported from a load case that already contains the dead load, it is not necessary to activate this option. Otherwise, the dead load of the structure will be doubled.
