EMATWRITE

EMATWRITE

EMATWRITE, Key
Forces the writing of all the element matrices to File.EMAT.

SOLUTION: Analysis Options

Key

Write key:

YES	—	Forces the writing of the element matrices to File.EMAT even if not normally done.
NO	—	Element matrices are written only if required. This value is the default.

Notes

The EMATWRITE command forces ANSYS to write the File.EMAT file. The file is necessary if you intend to follow the initial load step with a subsequent inertia relief calculation (IRLF). If used in the solution processor (/SOLU), this command is only valid within the first load step.

This command is also valid in PREP7.
