Total Mass

Total Mass

(OP)

Hi All!

I am dealing with a modal analysis in Ansys to calculate the natural frequencies of the model and I would like to know if Ansys calculate the total mass of the model during the calculations and if it is the case how can we display the total mass. I used to use Abaqus and in Abaqus *.dat file the total mass of the model is directly written.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Atilim

RE: Total Mass

Prior to solve issue:

/output,datafile,out

then issue the solve command. When the solution is done issue:

/out

The data will be written to file "datafile.out" in the working directory.
