.. function:: printA('-file',filename,'-ret')

   print the contents of a FullGeneral system that the integrator creates to the screen or a file if the ``'-file'`` option is used. If using a static integrator, the resulting matrix is the stiffness matrix. If a transient integrator, it will be some combination of mass and stiffness matrices. The printA command can only be issued after an analyze command.
