Hello,

Try to issue the *vwrite command before /output. This should write the data you want into the file. Check ANSYS help for the sintax.

Don't think that will work Hugo. I think the problem lies elsewhere, I'm guessing that the material either hasnt been defined correctly or is possibly in a table format. The following should definitely work if materials have been defined correctly:

/prep7
/output,materials,txt
mplis
/out
