Mass and stiffness matrices

[enguth]

Any way one can extract the mass and stiffness matrices from ETABS? Perhaps using an API?

Thank you

You can do that using the API. Alternatively, you can choose the Standard solver and locate the corresponding text file produced during the analysis which contains mass/stiffness matrix elements.
