Equilibrium matrix in ANSYS

Status

Can I put some more user-developed code into ANSYS to extract something rather than the available results (such as stiffness matrix, force vector, equilibrium matrix...)? If yes, how to do that?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

hi,
1) use ansys as a preprocessor.by creating the file that contains Ansys commands( something equivalent of .NIS file in nisa and along with generation of .DBS)
2)u could use a regular FE code with al prelimenary routines, error estimator etc as ur processor.and thereby get ur output as usual
3)use ansys fles again for post processing.

The question mark is of interfacing. A suitable make file or a batch file can be created for sequential operation and with suffcient lag between processes.second thing is that the operating system must support the compiler u are using for ur program and as well as ansys.
hope it helps

Thanks very much for your advice, DrRai. I'll try that way with the use of FORTRAN.
