    not exactly per SET, but you could output per property.

    card OUTPUT, MASSPROP, FL or ALL

    This will output the mass based on the property division.

    You could apply a property for the elements you need to control.

    Hi,

    I checked this option in my analysis.

    For weight optimization of i need cumulative mass of selected components or properties in .out or .pch file.

    Thanks.
