help Rec107
ABAQUS coordinate output to MATLAB
Syntax
#Rec# = Fil2str('*.fil');
#out# = Rec107(#Rec#)
Description
Read coordinate 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 coordinate output is
107. 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 coordinate results:
...
*FILE FORMAT, ASCII
*NODE FILE
COORD
...
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 107 as follows:
Column 1 – Node number.
Column 2 – First coordinate.
Column 3 – Second coordinate.
Column 4 – Etc
where #n# is the number of nodes multiplied by the number of
increments and #m#-1 is the number of coordinates per node. If
the results file does not contain the desired output, #out# will
be an empty array
