	`parentUID` not set	`parentUID` set
`location` without `refType`	global	local
`location` with `refType="absLocal"`	global	local
`location` with `refType="absGlobal"`	global	global

Note: The combination of location with refType="absLocal" and no parentUID is global, because the local coordinate system to which the location is referring to via refType equals the global coordinate system.

Name	Type	Use	Description
`@externalDataDirectory`	`xsd:string`	optional	Directory of the external data file
`@externalDataNodePath`	`xsd:string`	optional	Path of the node inside the external data file

`@uID`	`xsd:ID`	required	UID

Child elements

Name	Type	OccurrenceHow often the element may appear at this place. The schema writes it as minOccurs and maxOccurs on the declaration.	Description
sequenceThe children below must appear in exactly this order. Each may repeat as often as its own occurrence allows.
`name`	`stringBaseType`	[0..1] optional	Name
`description`	`stringBaseType`	[0..1] optional	Description
`parentUID`	`stringUIDBaseType`	[0..1] optional	Component the mass belongs to. The mass properties — the centre of gravity, the orientation and the moments of inertia — then refer to the coordinate system of this component; without it they refer to the global coordinate system.
`componentUID`	`stringUIDBaseType`	[0..1] optional	UID of the geometric description of the component
`mass`	`doubleBaseType`	[1..1] required	Mass [kg]
`location`	`pointAbsRelType`	[0..1] optional	Mass location. If the optional refType attribute is set, it explicitly specifies whether the location of the mass refers to the global CPACS coordinate system (absGobal) or the local coordinate system of the parent element (absLocal, given by the CPACS hierarchy OR by parentUID). If it is not set, the global CPACS coordinate system is considered as default. To ensure consistency, the same settings apply as well to orientation and massInertia.
`orientation`	`pointType`	[0..1] optional	Orientation. The reference coordinate system (absGlobal or absLocal) is identical to location.
`massInertia`	`massInertiaType`	[0..1] optional	Mass inertia. The reference coordinate system (absGlobal or absLocal) is identical to location.
