ACCELERATION output from Abaqus to Matlab (Record key 103)
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\103.inp'],[S(1:a(end)-1),'\103.inp'],'f')
Run the input file 103.inp with Abaqus
!abaqus job=103
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('103.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('103.fil');
Obtain the desired output data
out = Rec103(Rec)
out = Columns 1 through 3 1.000000000000000 9.908462420814647 -66.548703628065184 2.000000000000000 -15.425921613806169 5.444133205054499 3.000000000000000 11.007237347777240 -35.148614943567203 4.000000000000000 -12.462685001104420 37.973645930545672 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
