help Rec137
ABAQUS fluid cavity volume output to MATLAB
Syntax
#Rec# = Fil2str('*.fil');
#out# = Rec137(#Rec#)
Description
Read fluid cavity volume output from the results (*.fil) file
generated from the ABAQUS finite element software. The asterisk (*)
is replaced by the name of the results file. The record key for fluid
cavity volume output is 137. See section "Results file output format"
in ABAQUS Analysis User's manual for more details.
The following options with parameters have to be specified in the
ABAQUS input file for the results (*.fil) file to be created and to
contain fluid cavity volume results:
...
*FILE FORMAT, ASCII
*NODE FILE
CVOL
...
NOTE: The results file (*.fil) must be placed in the same directory
with the MATLAB source files in order to be processed.
Input parameters
#Rec# (string) is an one-row string containing the ASCII code of the
ABAQUS results (*.fil) file. It is generated by the function
Fil2str.m.
Output parameters
#out# ([#n# x 2]) is a double array containing the attributes of
the record key 137 as follows:
Column 1 – Fluid cavity reference node number.
Column 2 – Volume.
where #n# is the number of nodes multiplied by the number of
increments. If the results file does not contain the desired
output, #out# will be an empty array
