How to capture the model mass information?

After extracting the mid-surface in SpaceClaim, has multiple “Face Thickness” under one component (as shown below figure). When importing into Mechanical, the mass information cannot be read, but calculations can still be performed normally. If the model has one “Face Thickness” per component, the mass information would be displayed normally.
How can the mass information be captured for below model?

I tried to extract this using Python Code object with "After Object Changed" callback at Model level (RMB on Model --> Insert --> Python Code).
Please the below scripts for "Script" tab and "Property Provider" tab.
Script part:
def after_object_changed(this, object_changed, property_name):# Do not edit this line import units import materials geometry_unit = ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Analyses[0].GeoData.Unit ActiveMechanicalUnitSystem = ExtAPI.Application.ActiveUnitSystem if ActiveMechanicalUnitSystem.ToString() == "StandardMKS": convertTo_unit = 'DS_SOLV_MKS' elif ActiveMechanicalUnitSystem.ToString() in ["StandardNMMton", "StandardNMM", "StandardNMMdat"]: convertTo_unit = 'DS_SOLV_NMM' elif ActiveMechanicalUnitSystem.ToString() == "StandardCGS": convertTo_unit = 'DS_SOLV_CGS' elif ActiveMechanicalUnitSystem.ToString() == "StandardUMKS": convertTo_unit = 'DS_SOLV_UMKS' allBodies = [child for child in DataModel.GetObjectsByType(DataModelObjectCategory.Body) if child.ObjectState.ToString() != "Suppressed"] total_mass = 0 total_volume = 0 for body in allBodies: bodyMass = body.Mass.Value bodyVolume = body.Volume.Value total_mass = total_mass + bodyMass total_volume = total_volume + bodyVolume allFaceThicknessObj = [child for child in DataModel.GetObjectsByType(DataModelObjectCategory.Thickness) if child.ObjectState.ToString() != "Suppressed"] substract_volume_total = 0 volume_faceThickness_total = 0 mass_faceThickness_total = 0 mass_substract_total = 0 for obj in allFaceThicknessObj: substract_volume = 0 volume_faceThickness = 0 mass_faceThickness = 0 mass_substract = 0 thicknessData = obj.ThicknessField.Output.GetDiscreteValue(0).Value faceIdsScoped = obj.Location.Ids for faceId in faceIdsScoped: face = DataModel.GeoData.GeoEntityById(faceId) faceArea = Quantity(face.Area,'m m') faceAreaActiveUnit = faceArea.ConvertToUnitSystem(convertTo_unit, "Area") volume_faceThickness = volume_faceThickness + faceAreaActiveUnit.Value*thicknessData faceBody = face.Bodies[0] treebody=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Geometry.GetBody(faceBody) if treebody.ObjectState.ToString() != "Suppressed": faceBodyThickness = Quantity(faceBody.Thickness, 'm') else: faceBodyThickness = Quantity(0, 'm') faceBodyThicknessActiveUnit = faceBodyThickness.ConvertToUnitSystem(convertTo_unit, "Length") substract_volume = substract_volume + faceAreaActiveUnit.Value*faceBodyThicknessActiveUnit.Value treebody=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Geometry.GetBody(faceBody) bodyMat = treebody.Material myMat = DataModel.GetObjectsByName(bodyMat)[0] engineeringData = myMat.GetEngineeringDataMaterial() myDens = materials.GetMaterialPropertyByName(engineeringData,'Density') DensUnit = myDens['Density'][0] DensVal = myDens['Density'][1] if treebody.ObjectState.ToString() != "Suppressed": myDens = Quantity(DensVal,DensUnit) else: myDens = Quantity(0,DensUnit) myDens_ActiveUnit = myDens.ConvertToUnitSystem(convertTo_unit, "Density") mass_faceThickness = mass_faceThickness + myDens_ActiveUnit.Value*volume_faceThickness mass_substract = mass_substract + myDens_ActiveUnit.Value*faceAreaActiveUnit.Value*faceBodyThicknessActiveUnit.Value substract_volume_total = substract_volume_total + substract_volume volume_faceThickness_total = volume_faceThickness_total + volume_faceThickness mass_faceThickness_total = mass_faceThickness_total + mass_faceThickness mass_substract_total = mass_substract_total + mass_substract Total_Volume_New = total_volume + volume_faceThickness_total - substract_volume_total Total_Mass_New = total_mass + mass_faceThickness_total - mass_substract_total this.GetCustomPropertyByPath("Outputs/Mass").Value = Total_Mass_New this.GetCustomPropertyByPath("Outputs/Volume").Value = Total_Volume_New
