I need to extract the consistent mass matrix of a solid element, the thing is every time I use *MATRIX GENNERATE it gave me the lumped mass matrix which is a reduced version of the consistent mass matrix. However, if I use a beam element, I just need to print out next to *Beam Section, Lumped = NO to give me the consistent mass matrix but only this option is applicable for beam element which will not be helpful model cause I need a solid element.
In summary, I just need to know how to get the consistent mass matrix of a solid element and not the lumped one.
