help Rec27
ABAQUS section thickness output to MATLAB
Syntax
#Rec# = Fil2str('*.fil');
#out# = Rec27(#Rec#)
Description
Read section thickness 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 thickness
output is 27. 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 thickness results:
...
*FILE FORMAT, ASCII
*EL FILE
STH
...
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 1]) is a double array containing the attributes of
the record key 27 as follows:
Column 1 – Current section thickness for membranes and
finite-strain shells in Abaqus/Standard and for plane stress
elements, membranes, and all shells in Abaqus/Explicit.
where #n# is the number of elements multiplied by the number of
integration points multiplied by the number of increments. If the
results file does not contain the desired output, #out# will be
an empty array
