Importing Mass and Stiffness Matrices into HyperMesh for 1D Beam Modeling for static analysis

Hi,

I'm currently working on 1D beam modeling using HyperMesh, specifically focusing on defining a C-beam element. To streamline the process and ensure accuracy, I'm exploring the possibility of importing existing mass and stiffness matrices generated at various beam sections using external software like VABS (The data from an earlier study). 

My goal is to model a rotor blade made of composite material, and instead of manually defining all the sectional properties, I'm interested in understanding if there's a way to import the precomputed mass and stiffness properties into HyperMesh for error-free property definition. 

With the model, I would like to do a 3-point bending test and other static analysis. 

The existing mass and stiffness matrixes are 6X6. 

Any insights or guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
