Hi All,
I am designing an container to be lifted offshore. I have modeled the container and it weighs 5 Tonnes, and lifted by 4 legged sling. For calculation purposes for lifting analysis, I need to fulfil the criteria of 2.5 X Mass. Is there anyway I can multiply the container weight by 2.5 times in the simulation? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
LS
Define a gravity load that is 2.5 times Earth gravity (24.52 m/s^2, 80.44 ft/s^2, or 956.22 in/s^2).
Shaun,
Thanks, noted. The actual criteria is 2.5 X Mass X 0.75g. Where 0.75g is the acceleration to the container in the vertical (-Y), downward direction.
Will the acceleration of 0.75g need to be applied under the "advanced tab"? Thanks in advance.

LS
post the spec definition that you're trying to match
you need to decide here if this is a static case and just manage it by setting gravity appropriately or if it is a true dynamic analysis
Thanks Jared. This is a Static analysis only.
then you're good. just adjust the gravity.
As Jared said, just adjust the gravity. If you need to have a linear static analysis with a system at 2.5x mass and 0.75g, and your model is currently at 1x mass, then define a gravity load of 2.5*0.75g = 1.875g = 18.39 m/s^2.
Noted Shaun, Thanks.
