help Rec31
ABAQUS concrete failure output to MATLAB
Syntax
#Rec# = Fil2str('*.fil');
#out# = Rec31(#Rec#)
Description
Read concrete failure 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 concrete failure
output is 31 (only in ABAQUS/Standard). 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 concrete failure results:
...
*FILE FORMAT, ASCII
*EL FILE
CONF
...
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 2]) is a cell array containing the attributes of
the record key 31 as follows:
Column 1 - Serial number (increasing from 1 to #n#)
Column 2 – Summary of the state of a concrete material point.
This is the number of cracks or –1 if the concrete has crushed.
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
