abaqus script for querying mass of many parts

abaqus script for querying mass of many parts

abaqus script for querying mass of many parts

(OP)
I have Abaqus models consisting of up to 200 parts (or element sets) and I need mass for each part. I can query mass properties, but would have to manually pick each part, one at a time. Anyone has experience automating this with script?
When I review abaqus.rpy after querying a few parts, the queries are logged in comment statements only, and not any actual python statements so that I would not know how to extend it into a python script.

RE: abaqus script for querying mass of many parts

Mhhhh, there is a Scripting Reference Manual, it is searchable and you are looking for "mass". Now what could you do?

RE: abaqus script for querying mass of many parts

As Mustaine3 said, the scripting manual should be of use to you. I'd also caution you that depending on how your model is setup, the mass reported in the GUI may not be accurately reported (for example, if you're using spatially varying shell thicknesses with the Nodal Thickness option).
