  Hi Everyone!!
  I need to export Mass and Stiffness Matrix(.emat) and Model(.cdb) at a specific time such as the last step of the simulation. Please advise how to write the command(APDL) to obtain these files.
  I think the command below is the general command.

  Hello,
  The commands are correct. You can set the step you desire to issue those commands, in the Command object Details window (see picture below)
  Kind Regards,
  Stella

  Dear Stella
  Thank you very much for your answer.
  The .emat file wasn't written even though I set Delete Unneeded Files to "No". On the other hand, the .emat file will be written when SMART crack growth isn't performed. Could you please advise on this matter?
  BR,
