I made a simplified, one body model of a frame we need tobuild, and I am using CosmosXpress in SW08 to analyze it. I'mwondering if Xpress is taking into account the weight of the framein the analysis. I have material properties assigned and the frameweighs about 3000 lbs. When I run the analysis, with no loads (1 lbload), it moves, but very little. When I add a 3000 lb load to theframe, it moves quite a bit more.

The total load is 6000 lbs (load plus weight of frame), but I amnot sure if I need to run my analysis at 6000 lbs (3k lb load plus3k lb for the weight of the frame), or at 3k lbs (3k lb load andthe weight of the frame is already incorporated via materialproperties. Please help.
Thanks.SolidworksSimulation
