Regarding NSM Verification

I have a question regarding the Non-Structural Mass (NSM). When we define NSM for different assemblies, all the NSM appears to be consolidated into a single assembly during mass checks. The NSM was created using element sets, and I would like to know if this is a tool issue. How can we verify whether the mass has been assigned correctly to each of the sub-assemblies?

    Hello @Harish Rajendran ,

    which tool are you using to check NSMs and total mass of your system? As you are using 2022.2, Tools → Mass Calc (or Mass, I lost track of the name in 2022) should be used here

    Please note that latest version (2024.1) introduces a new mass balance mechanism, which is now available for all solver profiles:

    Best Regards,
