SOL 106 - Export Stiffness Matrix in nonlinear case

JohLut
Hi,
 
to export the stiffness matrix of a purely linear FE model I've successfully referred to the MALTER command explained in simcompanion.hexagon.com/.../how-to-export-mass-and-stiffness-matrices-of-a-large-model so far.
 
But in addition to that now I'd like to compute a nonlinear static load case and export the linearized stiffness matrix around the static equilibrium point.
How can I do this in an elegant way?
 
Best regards,
Johannes

    Hi Johannes, I'm not sure this is exactly what you want, but if you are just looking for the differential stiffness you can use the alter in the following article:
     
     
    Here it is:
     
    $ Alter used to export the differential stiffness in a SOL106
    $ run... it can be printed, output4'd and punched as a DMIG.
    $
    $ NOTE: This is developed for MSC Nastran and is use-at-your-own-risk.
    $      Do your own validation before using for production work.
    $
    $
    compile nlstatic list noref $
    $
    ALTER 'END $ NLSTATIC'(1,-3) $
    message //'' $
    message //'Matrix kdggx (gset differential stiffness) follows'
    matprn kdggxx// $
    message //'' $
    OUTPUT4 KDGGXX//-1/31/2  $ differential stiffness
    TYPE PARM,,I,N,PUNCHFLG=1 $ GENERATE DMIG PUNCHED OUTPUT
    TYPE PARM,,I,N,SORTFLG=1 $ INPUT MATRICES ARE IN INTERNAL SORT
    MATMOD KDGGXX,EQEXIN,USET,,,/,
          /16/PUNCHFLG/SORTFLG//////////'KDDEXT'/'G' $
     
    In SOL106, I think the different stiffnesses are kept in separate matrices (linear, differential, material), though at some point I'm sure they get combined.
