DISPLACEMENT output from Abaqus to Matlab (Record key 101)
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\101.inp'],[S(1:a(end)-1),'\101.inp'],'f')
Run the input file 101.inp with Abaqus
!abaqus job=101
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('101.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('101.fil');
Obtain the desired output data
out = Rec101(Rec)
out = Columns 1 through 3 1.000000000000000 2.731019954737037 -18.342486437485469 2.000000000000000 -4.251769644805327 -20.936960785356849 3.000000000000000 3.033869793981101 -9.687836993820708 4.000000000000000 -3.435027553429406 -11.971013840393351 5.000000000000000 0.000000000000000 -0.000000000000000 6.000000000000000 -0.000000000000000 -0.000000000000000 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
