How to export mass and stiffness matrices of a large model?

Hi,
 
up to now, I've applied the command EXTSEOUT (STIFFNESS MASS ASMBULK EXTID = 10 DMIGPCH) to get the matrices as a byproduct of the superelement reduction process.
This is ok for models of moderate size.
 
However, this approach seems not reasonable for rather large models (~1.000.000 nodes) as the intermediate files like *.DBALL are blown up to more than 16 GB and the computations take ages.
 
Since I'm not interested in the external superelement itself I'm wondering if there might be a simpler way to export the system matrices without extensive reduction computations.
 
Best regards,
Johannes
