VELOCITY output from Abaqus to Matlab (Record key 102)
In this example a simple Abaqus model is analysed and results are retrieved by postprocessing the results *.fil file generated by Abaqus using Matlab. For more information please see the Documentation of Abaqus2Matlab toolbox.
Contents
Run Abaqus model
Change current directory to Abaqus working directory
a = strfind(S,'\');
cd(S(1:a(end)-1))
Copy the input file to be run by Abaqus into the Abaqus working directory
copyfile([S,'\AbaqusInputFiles\102.inp'],[S(1:a(end)-1),'\102.inp'],'f')
Run the input file 102.inp with Abaqus
!abaqus job=102
Pause Matlab execution to give Abaqus enough time to create the lck file
pause(10)
If the lck file exists then halt Matlab execution
while exist('102.lck','file')==2 pause(0.1) end
Postprocess Abaqus results file with Matlab
Assign all lines of the fil file in an one-row string (after Abaqus analysis terminates)
Rec = Fil2str('102.fil');
Obtain the desired output data
out = Rec102(Rec)
out = Columns 1 through 3 1.000000000000000 5.449654331448056 -36.601786995435852 2.000000000000000 -8.484256887593396 -42.005726737220023 3.000000000000000 6.053980541277480 -19.331738218961959 4.000000000000000 -6.854476750607431 -24.114494738199880 5.000000000000000 0 0 6.000000000000000 0 0 Columns 4 through 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Verify output
Check number of attributes
nAttr=size(out,2)
nAttr = 5
Check the number of entries
nEntr=size(out,1)
nEntr = 6
Check class of output
cOut=class(out)
cOut = double
