this value.

run your simulation until a point when it is considered finished. Stop it. Call
masses()
in yade interactive terminal. The returned value are the masses in the two cylinders. You can print it or do whatever you want:
##
mass1,mass2 = masses()
print(mass1,mass2)
totalMass = mass1 + mass2
...

I don't understand this..
"for b in O.bodies:" is surely documented as well as that b.state.mass is the mass of the body and b.state.pos its center.
Definitely you can easily find information on the web how to do a sum or how to check if a point is inside a cylinder..
Of course Yade documentation does not describe exactly your scenario.
BUT, Yade is open source and you are free (and welcome actually) to add such example or improve the documentation (or its part) if you find it not good! :-)

cheers
Jan
