ETABS assigns all mass within a story to the at that level. Points: etabs mass summary by story

1. Run the analysis of your model.
2. Go to the Display menu > Show Tables (or use the shortcut Ctrl + T).
3. Under Model Output, expand Results > Structure Output.
4. Double-click Mass Summary by Story.

• Weight ($W$): Force due to gravity ($W = m \cdot g$). Used for gravity load combinations and P-Delta effects.
• Mass ($m$): Inertial property ($m = W/g$). Used for dynamic analysis (eigenvalue extraction, time history).

When you open the table, you will see several columns. Understanding these is vital for a precise seismic analysis: ETABS Mass Summary — A Short Story The

The is a crucial output used to verify the seismic weight and inertia of a structure. It provides a detailed breakdown of the mass and weight assigned to each level, which is essential for calculating base shear and checking for irregularities.
