Export Mass Matrices in Abaqus

Submitted by augustus on

Hello,

 

I have to export stiffness and mass matrices from Abaqus (dynamical simulation)

and I have been using the commands *Matrix Generate and *Matrix Output

 

I need to export the matrices for different  time points (time intervals) and I have noticed that the entries

of the MASS matrices are not equal at different  time points.

 

Is that correct or should the MASS matrices be constant for a dynamical simulation?

 

many thanks
