s = struct ;
for i = 1:100
s(i).a = rand(1) ;
s(i).b = i ;
end
suma = sum([s(:).a]) ;
sumb = sum([s(:).b]) ;

z = struct2cell(s(:));
out = sum(reshape([z{:}],size(z)),2);
or general variant
z = cellfun(@(x)x(:)',struct2cell(s(:)),'un',0);
out = arrayfun(@(ii)sum([z{ii,:}]),(1:size(z,1))');

You can do it with a for loop like this:
sum1=0;
for i=1:length(s)
sum1=sum1+s(i).fieldname
end
or you can directly do like this:-
sum1=sum([s(:).fieldname])

s = struct; % create a scalar (1-by-1) structure with no fields
N = 1000; % number of fields to be created
for i = 1 : N
s(i).a = i + 1; % s(1).a = 2; s(2).a = 3; s(3).a = 4; ... ; s(N).a = 1001; (fill "a" fields with scalar values)
s(i).b = i; % s(1).b = 1; s(2).b = 2; s(3).b = 3; ... ; s(N).b = 1000; (fill "b" fields with scalar values)
end
% Sumation of scalar values:
c = struct2cell(s); % convert (1 by N) struct to (2 by 1 by N) cell array
ca_sum = sum([c{1,1,:}], 2); % sum of the elements in the "a" fields
cb_sum = sum([c{2,1,:}], 2); % sum of the elements in the "b" fields
c_sum = sum([c{:}]); % sum of the elements in the "a+b" fields
