    Also  you can use Model browser --> component view to check the individual mass for all components.

    Maybe you forgot to input density in material?

    Also when you checking with tool --> mass calc.. check whether area is shown or not. If it is shows, then check the volume.

     

    If thickness is mistake it will give zero volume & zero mass.

     

    If Material is mistake it will give volume data & zero mass.
