Is there any way to get this somehow easily in ACP or Mechanical?&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My second thought would be to do scripting in APDL or PyMAPDL by selecting elements by ranges in a z-direction, get mass, divide by the range length to get the specific mass. Then continue to next range until covering all the model.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Is there a way to export this to a table in Workbench?&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Best wishes&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pablo&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-422570","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-acp","topic-tag-mass","topic-tag-mechanical"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_topic_id":["422570"],"_bbp_subscription":["342810","13937"],"_bbp_author_ip":["77.225.90.245"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["423059"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["423059"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2025-02-24 18:24:52"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":["0"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_engagement":["342810","13937"],"_btv_view_count":["172"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_edit_lock":["1740394673:15140"]},"test":"pnoevernorvento-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/422570","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/422570\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=422570"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
