`mass` = `m_type`, input(*)
Definition of a mass.
If a new body is created,
and the new body has the same name as a previous body,
the first body cannot be overwritten,
as different masses require different amounts of space in the main memory.
Therefore, the first defined body is the valid mass, and the second body will be ignored.
First a brief summary is given of the available subcommands in mass,
followed by a detailed description of each subcommand.
| `fixpoint_6` | Creates a mass with constraints in all directions. |
| `m_flex_1` | Defines flexible mode shapes to a rigid body |
| `m_rigid_1` | Creates a mass with 1 degree of freedoms |
| `m_rigid_12` | Creates a mass with 6 degree of freedoms. Equation of motions in a body fixed frame |
| `m_rigid_6` | Creates a mass with 6 degrees of freedoms |
| `m_rigid_6f` | Creates a mass without inertia acceleration. |
| `m_rigid_36b` | Creates a body with 6 degrees of freedoms, with body-fixed equations of motion |
| `massless1` | Creates a mass without mass-matrix, only for stiffness couplings |
| `massless13` | Creates a mass without mass-matrix, handles both stiffnesses and dampers
The tolerance of the positioning of the massless mass is on unbalanced force. |
| `massless13p` | Creates a mass without mass-matrix, handles both stiffnesses and dampers.
The tolerance of the positioning of the massless mass is on unbalanced position. |
| `massless14` | Creates a one-dimensional mass without mass-matrix, handles both stiffnesses and dampers
The tolerance of the positioning of the massless mass is on unbalanced force. |
| `massless2` | Creates a mass without mass-matrix, handles both stiffnesses and dampers, must have dampers |

m_type = `fixpoint_6`
Creates a mass with 6 directions, however these directions have no degrees
of freedom as all movements are constricted.
Therefore, no data regarding the mass matrix is necessary.
The user can still move the mass defined in command fixpoint_6, by using simple
func-commands which will overwrite the variables generated in the fixpoint_6-command.

m_type = `m_flex_1`
Defines a flexible body.
Before this command can be given,
a rigid mass must have been defined previously in the input data,
by command "mass m_rigid_6" or "mass m_rigid_36b".
For every eigenfrequency which is given in this command,
two equations of motion are added to the total number of equations in the input data model.
The new equations are expressed in so-called generalized coordinates
and are excited by generalized forces, which will be defined in command "coupl m_flex_1".
Input of the input data is ended when new valid main command according to
Input data main-commands is given.

m_type = `massless13p`
Creates a mass without mass matrix,
with the possibilities of motion in all coordinate directions.
The body accepts k,
c and
kc type couplings linked to it.
On definition of massless13p, the surrounding masses are also checked to ensure
that they are of m_rigid_6 or m_rigid_36b type bodies,
where the positions are integrated.
The difference between massless13 and massless13p,
is that the tolerance r_feps is given in unbalanced position instead of unbalanced force as in
massless13 above.

m_type = `massless2`
Creates a mass without mass matrix,
with the possibilities of motion in all coordinate directions.
The body only accepts k or c type couplings linked to it.
The body's position is integrated by differential equation of the first order.
Massless2, therefore, requires that at least one viscous coupling is connected in every
coordinate direction.
Should there not be a viscous coupling in a certain direction,
the direction must have constraints.
The eigenvalue for the massless point can be calculated according to the following equation:
The equation shows that the system will have a high eigenfrequency if the stiffness
is high and the damping low.
