ABAQUS - Obtain Moment of Inertia of each element in an instance using getMassProperties(..)

(OP)
I am trying to loop over all the elements in a certain instance (or part) and obtain the moment of inertia of each element.

I can do this in the Visualization window in ABAQUS CAE, but I am unable to do it for each element using python

The following line gives me for the whole part mdb_model.rootAssembly.getMassProperties(regions=pileinstance_mdb)

How can I access each element seperatly?

Thank you
