help Rec1901
ABAQUS node definition output to MATLAB
Syntax
#Rec# = Fil2str('*.fil');
#out# = Rec1901(#Rec#)
Description
Read node definition 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 node definition
output is 1901. See section "Results file output format" in ABAQUS
Analysis User's manual for more details.
The following option with parameter has to be specified in the ABAQUS
input file for the results (*.fil) file to be created:
...
*FILE FORMAT, ASCII
...
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 1901 as follows:
Column 1 – Node number.
Column 2 – First coordinate.
Column 3 – Second coordinate.
Column 4 – etc.
where #n# is the number of nodes 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
