Hello all,

I wanted to know if it is possible to somehow extract and export the Global Stiffness Matrix 'K' and Right Hand side Vector 'F' (in [K]*{X}={F}) for a model that is setup in ABAQUS?

I need that information because I am looking to use my own fortran code to solve it.

I would greatly appreciate if someone with appropriate knowledge can provide some insight.

Regards
