Effect of No Mass Materials

I see that no mass materials only have the following physical properties:

  • R-value
  • Thermal absorptance
  • Solar absorptance
  • Visible absorptance
  • Roughness

What effect would using no mass materials have on my model? Does it prevent certain kinds of simulations from running?
