Abaqus - Mass scaling settings Abaqus/Explicit

Hi,

I am running a simulation of metal rolling in Abaqus/Explicit. I have a single Dynamic, Explicit step for this. I think I have been running simulations with no mass scaling (or a mass scaling factor =1), but I am not sure. I have selected the ``Use scaled mass and “throughout step” definitions from the previous step" in the mass scaling settings in the Step module. I am just wondering does this mean my MS=1 since I have no previous step?

Thanks,

Frank
