Can I separate a symbolic expression into real and imaginary components?

I am trying to solve a system of equations for a Vibrations problem. The matrices have one symbolic variable (w), real and imaginary components. I solve the system equation using basic matrix math, and it gives my output is in the following form:
(w*(- 340681500621583831516475 + 245114682516134139416800*i) - 2^(1/2)*w*161744841465528059953152*i + 10845775541925882888192*2^(1/2)*w^2 + 2^(1/2)*w^3*3616953450731929600*i + w^2*(- 76906298945748700000 - 11075142634881799717775*i) + 3948349625585861875*w^3 + 3922540001147731586120800 + 2633460286177396815135200*i)/(2560*(w^4*(1099511627776000*i) + 3407162234105757696*w^3 + w^2*(-71889311507307749723*i) - 584836757809722693890*w + 4461121651825735176160*i))
which is a total mess. Is there a way that I can get MATLAB to put that output in the following form?:
= [(equation in terms of w) + (equation in terms of w)*i]
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Anthony,
In order to separate real and imaginary parts from an equation you can make use of "real" and imag" functions of MATLAB. You can refer to the below example.
syms w
y = 3 + 4i + w*5.5i;
y_imag = imag(y)
y_imag = 
y_real = real(y)
y_real = 
You can also use "simplify" function to further simplify your equations and to have a more clear visualization.
Below are the documentaion links you can refer to:
real - https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/real.html?searchHighlight=real&s_tid=srchtitle_support_results_1_real
imaginary - https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/imag.html?searchHighlight=imaginary&s_tid=srchtitle_support_results_7_imaginary
Hope it helps!
