So, the subject is self-descriptive. How can I calculate the area of a face? What python command should I use?

p=mdb.models['Model-1'].parts['Part-0']
pfaces=p.faces
area of each face????

Per the Scripting Reference guide section 7.5.7, the face object should have a getSize() method. If you have multiple faces, you'll want to iterate over each face.
