Substructure Generation in ABAQUS

Submitted by Valdemar9000 on

Hi,



I have created a substructure in Abaqus. As output, I will like to see the substructure matrices (mass, stiffness and damping matrices). However, I'm only able to write the mass and stiffness matrices to an output file (*.mtx).



Does anyone know how to create an output file including both the mass, stiffness and damping matrices of the substructure? Below, I have shown what I have written in the input file (*.inp).



Thanks in advance,



Mads



************************************



*Substructure Generate, overwrite, type=Z1, recovery matrix=YES, mass matrix=YES, structural damping matrix=YES, viscous damping matrix=YES

*Select Eigenmodes, generate

1, 4, 1

*Damping Controls, structural=COMBINED, viscous=COMBINED

*Retained Nodal Dofs

Set-28, 1, 6

*SUBSTRUCTURE MATRIX OUTPUT, MASS=YES, STIFFNESS=YES, OUTPUT FILE=USER DEFINED, FILENAME=substructure

*End Step
