Can I apply acceleration to a CMS superelement in ANSYS 10.0? I am running a
transient analysis.


You can apply the acceleration to the CMS superlement as a load vector as demonstrated
in the input below. You can also apply the acceleration to the superelement in the use pass,
but this is not as accurate as applying it in the generation pass. To avoid applying the acceleration
to the superelement twice use the CMACEL command to apply accelearation to a component of
the non-superelement elements.
