CFD Online Discussion Forums - Problem: Generating Stiffness Matrix (HBMAT)

Hello,

I struggle to use the HBMAT command in ANSYS Mechanical to generate a text-file which includes the global stiffness matrix of my part by enter the following codes into a command block:

Code:

HBMAT, Z:/Test1, .txt, --, ASCII, STIFF, YES, NO

or:

Code:

aux2

file,file,full

hbmat,Z:/Test1,.txt,,ascii,stiff,no,yes

fini

or:

Code:

/solu

antype,substr

seopt,file,2,1

m,all,all

/output,M5x5

solve

/output

What is wrong with my code - do I have to define something else first?

Best regards,
Max
