  • I believe you are using Marc / Mentat.
    In Mentat we can get the mass of selected elements by using the following method,
    1. Select the elements
    2. Navigate to Tools > Calculations > Element mass > selected elements
    The mass of selected elements will be displayed in the Mentat command window. The density must be defined in material properties.
     
    If you want to print the mass computed by Marc solver in the .out file,
     
    1. Jobs > Job results > Output file
    2. check box , volume mass and energy
    3. Element regions > create > select the elements
    Hope this helps.
