CONCENTRATED ELECTRICAL NODAL CURRENT output from Abaqus to Matlab (Record key 139)
In this example a simple Abaqus model is analysed and results are retrieved by postprocessing the results *.fil file generated by Abaqus using Matlab. For more information please see the Documentation of Abaqus2Matlab toolbox.
Contents
Run Abaqus model
Change current directory to Abaqus working directory
a = strfind(S,'\');
cd(S(1:a(end)-1))
Copy the input file to be run by Abaqus into the Abaqus working directory
copyfile([S,'\AbaqusInputFiles\139.inp'],[S(1:a(end)-1),'\139.inp'],'f')
Run the input file 139.inp with Abaqus
!abaqus job=139
Pause Matlab execution to give Abaqus enough time to create the lck file
pause(10)
If the lck file exists then halt Matlab execution
while exist('139.lck','file')==2 pause(0.1) end
Postprocess Abaqus results file with Matlab
Assign all lines of the fil file in an one-row string (after Abaqus analysis terminates)
Rec = Fil2str('139.fil');
Obtain the desired output data
out = Rec139(Rec)
out = 900000001 0 900000002 0 900000003 0 900000004 0 900000005 0 900000006 0 900000007 0 900000008 0 900000009 0 900000010 0 900000001 0 900000002 0 900000003 0 900000004 0 900000005 0 900000006 0 900000007 0 900000008 0 900000009 0 900000010 65800
Verify output
Check number of attributes
nAttr=size(out,2)
nAttr = 2
Check the number of entries
nEntr=size(out,1)
nEntr = 20
Check class of output
cOut=class(out)
cOut = double
