Tables > Masses > Calculated Masses prompts you with the following dialog.
It allows you to view the masses calculated from the load combination for frequency analysis set in Analysis > Frequency Analysis. The program will automatically convert all forces (not moments) in the positive or negative gravity direction to masses and apply them in all available mass degrees of freedom.
Obviously, the calculated mass values cannot be modified. However, you may convert all the calculated masses to additional masses. In this case, the “Convert loads to masses” option in Analysis > Frequency Analysis will be disabled. This technique may be useful when you want to account for the influence of axial loads on frequencies.
