how to export mass of an ANSYS Workbench model to a text file

[andradesilva]

Hi all,

I am doing a static simulation on ANSYS Workbench 18.1 as a part of my work as a R&D Engineer.

I am trying to export the total mass of a model to a text file. If it is possible to obtain the mass of each element of the mesh, and export it, it would be better.

I am inserting an APDL code after solution (/POST1) that I am attaching in a text file. It is a partial element solution that allows to obtain the mass of the full model. It worked for me before in ANSYS MECHANICAL APDL, but I don't have so much experience in ANSYS Workbench,


Any help appreciated,

Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Andrade Silva

Check this thread-thread569-365593

Easiest way to get mass component/body wise is click on geometry ==> click on worksheet

I have slightly modified your code. Check out. Before solving uncheck distributed ansys option in solve process settings. PSOLVE command is not supported by distibuted ansys.
