I used the code above. It exports the mass matrix through modal analysis of a cantilever beam with one fixed end. The load applied was (10^5 \sin(200t)) at a single node on the end to Z direction for a transient analysis up to 1 second. While there were no issues in ANSYS, the values diverged significantly when I ran it in MATLAB.
