Hi Deepesh,

You can input moment of inertia values for each direction when defining a Point Mass in Ansys Mechanical Application. This allows you to idealize the inertial effects from a body using a Point Mass, which can affect modal and harmonic solutions. The location of the Point Mass can be anywhere in space and can also be defined in a local coordinate system if one exists.
