Any anwsers yet?

RE: Calculate Mass in SAP2000

The total mass in sap2000 could be obtained defining a load case without any loads and with a self weight multiplier of 1.
The total weight is written in one of the output files (*.out) and represent the total axial force for the structure.
Be careful in defining the Weight per unit volume for the material(s).
