0D Mesh dialog box

Type
Type	Lets you select the geometry on which to create the 0D elements.Create 0D Mesh lets you create 0D elements on selected geometry.Create Lumped Mass at Center of Gravity lets you apply an additional mass value at either the center of gravity of a body or mesh or at a specified point.
Objects to Mesh
Select Objects	Available when Type is set to Create 0D Mesh.Lets you select the geometry, polygon vertex, mesh, or mesh point on which to create the 0D elements. You can also select a selection recipe that contains the geometry or mesh on which to create the elements.
Objects for Lumped Mass
Select Body or Mesh	Available when Type is set to Create Lumped Mass at Center of Gravity.Lets you select one or more bodies or meshes, or you can specify a selection recipe. The software computes the center of gravity of the selected objects.
Combine Bodies/Meshes	Creates a single lumped mass at the combined center of gravity of all selected bodies and meshes. Clear this check box to create a separate lumped mass at the center of gravity of each selected body or mesh.
Offset from Center of GravityAvailable when the specified solver is Simcenter Nastran, MSC, Nastran, Simcenter 3D Multiphysics, Samcef, or LS-DYNA
CSYS Type	Lets you offset the lumped mass from the center of gravity with respect to a selected coordinate system.
X OffsetY OffsetZ Offset	Specifies the distance from the centroid of the selected body or mesh to offset the mass from the center of gravity along the X-, Y-, and Z-axes.
Lumped Mass Location (If Not at Center of Gravity)
Create Element at Point	Creates the lumped mass at a selected point rather than at the computed center of gravity.
Specify Point	Available when Type is set to Create 0D Mesh.Lets you select the geometry on which to create the 0D elements.
Additional Mass
Mass	Specifies the amount of additional mass to apply to the 0D element. The software adds this mass value to the calculated mass of the selected bodies or meshes.
Use Value as the Total Mass	Applies the specified mass value as the total mass. The software does not add the calculated mass of the selected bodies or meshes to this value.
Element Properties
Type	Specifies the type of 0D elements to create.
Edit Mesh Associated Data	Available when Type is set to Create 0D Mesh.Lets you specify any required properties for the selected type of elements.
Destination Collector
Automatic Creation	When Automatic Creation is selected, creates a new destination collector.When the Automatic Creation check box is cleared, specifies an existing mesh collector from the Mesh Collector list. New Collector opens the Mesh Collector dialog box, where you create additional mesh collectors.
