help Rec103
ABAQUS acceleration output to MATLAB
Syntax
#Rec# = Fil2str('*.fil');
#out# = Rec103(#Rec#)
Description
Read acceleration 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 acceleration output
is 103. 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 acceleration results:
...
*FILE FORMAT, ASCII
*NODE FILE
A
...
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 103 as follows:
Column 1 – Node number.
Column 2 – First component of acceleration.
Column 3 – Second component of acceleration.
Column 4 – Etc
where #n# is the number of nodes multiplied by the number of
increments and #m#-1 is the number of accelerations per node. If
the results file does not contain the desired output, #out# will
be an empty array
