# Abaqus Matrix-Based Model Definition
## Definition
Abaqus matrix-based model definition is the use of directly supplied stiffness, mass, viscous damping, or structural damping matrices as part of an Abaqus/Standard model.
## How It Works
The guide describes named matrix input in text or SIM form. A matrix can be symmetric or unsymmetric, scaled, and assembled into the analysis model through shared nodes or explicit node remapping. Matrix-based components can represent a model part when the analyst already has a linearized matrix description from another source or from a previous analysis.
Matrix assembly connects matrix-represented regions to conventionally meshed regions. In nonlinear analyses, the supplied matrix contribution remains linear; the surrounding model can still undergo nonlinear material, contact, or geometric response depending on the procedure and connected elements.
Volume II adds the complementary generation workflow: Abaqus/Standard can generate stiffness, mass, damping, and load matrices in a linear perturbation step and write them to SIM or text files for later Abaqus input or external software.
## Why It Matters
Matrix input exposes the algebraic layer of finite element analysis. It connects production [[ABAQUS]] modeling to [[Direct Stiffness Method]] ideas: element or component contributions become matrices that are assembled into global static or dynamic equations.
## Connections
- [[Static Equilibrium Equation Solvers]] solve stiffness-based systems that matrix input can contribute to.
- [[Direct Time Integration Methods]] can use mass and damping matrices in transient dynamics.
- [[Finite Element Program Implementation]] explains the matrix assembly and global equation context behind this feature.
- [[Abaqus Matrix Generation and Reduced Models]] covers the export side of the same matrix-based workflow.
