how to save any list APDL command?

(OP)
Hi all,

I am working on a APDL file. I want to save the MPLIST (material properties) and load step summary from modal analysis (SET,List) automatically as txt files. I am trying to use

/OUTPUT, MPLIST, txt
MPLIST,ALL,,,EVLT
/OUTPUT

a text file is saved in directory but it is empty :( ... Please help me with
Thanks in advance :)

RE: how to save any list APDL command?

Hello,

Try to issue the *vwrite command before /output. This should write the data you want into the file. Check ANSYS help for the sintax.

RE: how to save any list APDL command?

Don't think that will work Hugo. I think the problem lies elsewhere, I'm guessing that the material either hasnt been defined correctly or is possibly in a table format. The following should definitely work if materials have been defined correctly:

/prep7
/output,materials,txt
mplis
/out
