Hello,
Have you tried with a sampling point? See image below:
With a sampling point, you can do a CLT analysis (Classical Laminate Theory) and export the stiffness matrix at the sampling point for the laminate.
Note that the complete stiffness matrix is an 8x8 matrix and includes the shear terms:
Maybe you are looking for the ABD matrix (6x6) only? You will find more information in th ACP help:

Let me know if this works for you or not.
Reno.
