  ,nnCould you try the various command snippets posted by users at https://www.researchgate.net/post/How-to-get-Damping-Matrix-along-with-Stiffness-and-Mass-Matrices-in-Ansys-Apdl-using-commands.nnRegards,nIshan. n

  nI have tried DMAT, HBMAT command to get stiffness/mass matrices. However, there is no information about connectivity. For example, I can get the information of equation and matrix row relation from HBMAT command, but I want to relate which nodes are connected to corresponding element. This information is not provided by neither DMAT nor HBMAT.nThank you.n
