Hello HVN,
Question: is it possible to display the total mass of a system in AutoPIPE?
Answer: I apologize for the inconvenience, but this cannot be done at this time. However, consider using the Tools> Model consistency check> Center of gravity report to aid in calculating the mass of a model. Example of report shown below:
C E N T E R O F G R A V I T Y R E P O R T

PipeTot + Ins. + Clad. + Lin. + Cont. + Beam : 3197.57 -3.50 4.18 -5.10
NOTE: COG report only includes the currently visible beams and segments.
All pipe segments are included.
No beams present in the model.
