Hi all,

Is there a tool in SAP2000 to calculate the total mass of the structure?

Feel free to e-mai me at shf@motioneering.com if you've got a definitive answer. Thanks!

The total mass in sap2000 could be obtained defining a load case without any loads and with a self weight multiplier of 1.
The total weight is written in one of the output files (*.out) and represent the total axial force for the structure.
Be careful in defining the Weight per unit volume for the material(s).
