help Rec24
ABAQUS total inelastic strain output to MATLAB
Syntax
#Rec# = Fil2str('*.fil');
#out# = Rec24(#Rec#)
Description
Read total inelastic strain 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 total
inelastic strain output is 24 (only in ABAQUS/Standard). 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 total inelastic strain results:
...
*FILE FORMAT, ASCII
*EL FILE
IE
...
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 #m#]) is a double array containing the attributes of
the record key 24 as follows:
Column 1 – First inelastic strain component.
Column 2 – Second inelastic strain component.
Column 3 – Etc. (See “Elements” in Abaqus Analysis User's
Manual for a definition of the number and type of the components
for the element type).
where #n# is the number of elements multiplied by the number of
integration points multiplied by the number of section points
(for shell, beam, or layered solid elements) multiplied by the
number of increments, and #m# is the number of total inelastic
strain components of each element. If the results file does not
contain the desired output, #out# will be an empty array
