Dear All:

I want to extract stiffness matrix from my model using python command.

I know how to extract stiffness matrix using input file commands, but the problem is when I want o run input file using python, pthon skip those lines correspond to extracting stiffness matrix. I dont know why. Because of this, I want to include some command inside my python code in order to extract stiffness matrix from abaqus model. But, I dont know how o do this. Could you please help me?

Thanks,

Malekan

I added these lines before step definition in input file:

*STEP, name=exportmatrix
*MATRIX GENERATE, STIFFNESS
*MATRIX OUTPUT, STIFFNESS, FORMAT=LABELS
*END STEP
