Workflow for mass addition feature
Problem: In bridges, often there are scenarios where loading (trucks etc) contributes mass to the overall system of the deck but not stiffness.
Solution: A function feature in ospgrillage that enable user to add mass, either directly (to specify elements) or indirectly (handled by ospgrillage to distribute mass to nodes for example).
TODO: A proposed function that follows the following procedure in loop can be ideal for when the model has been built (ran create_osp_model()) :
- loop through elements to get each element mass.
- For elements identified that is subjected to added mass, sum the mass of added mass with current element mass
- Overwrite mass parameter of element() commands
