Is there a way in APDL to find either the volume or mass of a created structure? Its a fairly basic keypoint/line model with a defined cross section, thanks in advance! [glasses]

Check the ANSYS Customer Portal knowledge base. This is a fairly common question.
 
Thanks, I got round the problem by listing and summing the length of every line then simply multiplying by cross sectional area and density
