Reply To: Stiffness matrix commands for student version

[Aniket]

it should work in the student version as well. 

The EMATWRITE command in Mechanical APDL forces the writing of the element matrices to a file named Jobname.emat. This command can be particularly useful when you need to ensure that the element matrices are written out, which might not be done by default. The command can be used with a key of "YES" to force the writing of the element matrices, even if it's not normally done. By default, the value is "NO," which means element matrices are written only if required. It's important to note that if used in the solution processor with the /SOLU command, EMATWRITE is valid only within the first load step. Additionally, this command is also valid in PREP7, but it cannot be accessed from a menu.
