help Rec13
ABAQUS section force and moment output to MATLAB
Syntax
#Rec# = Fil2str('*.fil');
#out# = Rec13(#Rec#)
Description
Read section force 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 section force
output is 13. 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 section force results:
...
*FILE FORMAT, ASCII
*EL FILE
SF
...
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 13 as follows:
Column 1 – First section force.
Column 2 – Second section force.
Column 3 – Etc. (See “Elements” in Abaqus Analysis User's
Manual for a description of which section forces are available
for each beam or shell element type).
where #n# is the number of elements multiplied by the number of
integration points multiplied by the number of increments, and
#m# is the number of section force components of each element. If
the results file does not contain the desired output, #out# will
be an empty array
