These represent the total mass considered for horizontal motion in the X and Y directions. In most cases, these values are identical unless you have assigned specific directional mass properties.
The center of mass for the entire structure from that story upward. 3. Why This Data Matters A. Seismic Base Shear Verification
In ETABS, the is one of the most critical outputs for structural engineers. It provides a concise breakdown of how weight is distributed across the height of a building—a factor that directly dictates seismic forces and dynamic behavior.
