Hi everyone,

I am currently working on a project for which I have to write a Python script in order to obtain different mesh element properties of Abaqus model. These properties are :

- the centroïd coordinates

- the element densities computed at those centroïd

- the area of the element (2D) or the volume (3D)

I have made researches on the Abaqus Scripting Reference Manual. Knowing that the Abaqus interface allows to easily get those data with Tools -> Query -> Mass properties, I tried the getMassProperties() function. Nevertheless, this function works only for geometric entities ( not for mesh elements ).

Do you have any idea to succeed in doing that ?

Best regards.
