The abaqus mtxasm utility assembles element
matrices contained in a SIM document and,
optionally, writes the assembled matrices to text files. If assembled matrices
are already available in a SIM document, you
can use this utility to write them to text files.
This option is used to specify the name of the
SIM document containing assembled matrices or
to which assembled matrices will be written, depending on the mode of
operation.
oldjob
This option is used to specify the name of the
SIM document containing element matrices to be
assembled. If this option is not used, the SIM
document specified using the job option
must already exist and contain assembled matrices.
text
This option is used to write assembled matrices to text files in the matrix
input format. Each matrix is written to a file that follows the naming
convention
jobname_matrixN.mtx,
where jobname is the name specified using the
job option,
matrix is a four-letter identifier
(STIF, MASS,
DMPV, DMPS,
or LOAD) indicating the matrix type relevant
for structural or thermal matrices, and N is the
increment number.
