Hi guys,

Does anyone know how to extract the mass and the stiffness matrix of a system (not only for an element)? I need this kind of output to handle further with some other software for some research purposes...

I tried using *Substructure matrix Output card, but it seemed not be working...does anyone have experience in using this card or smth similar?
