+====== Segment Mass ======
+Every [[visual3d:documentation:modeling:segments:segment_overview|segment]] in a Visual3D model has a mass, which is used to calculate kinetic quantities.
+=====Default Segment Mass=====
+The default segment masses defined in Visual3D are based on [[https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/handle/2027.42/4540|Dempster's regression equations]] and are (relative to total body mass):
+^ Segment ^ Mass (% body mass) ^
+|**foot**          |0.0145|
+|**shank**         |0.0465|
+|**thigh**         |0.10  |
+|**hand**          |0.006 |
+|**forearm**       |0.016 |
+|**upper arm**     |0.028 |
+|**pelvis**        |0.142 |
+|**thorax/abdomen**|0.355 |
+|**head**          |0.081 |
+|**trunk**         |0.497 |
+=====Modifying Segment Mass=====
+Users can modify Segment Mass under the [[visual3d:documentation:modeling:segments:segment_properties|segment properties]] tab in Visual3D's model builder.
