help Rec105
ABAQUS electrical potential output to MATLAB
Syntax
#Rec# = Fil2str('*.fil');
#out# = Rec105(#Rec#)
Description
Read electrical potential 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
electrical potential output is 105. 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 electrical potential results:
...
*FILE FORMAT, ASCII
*NODE FILE
EPOT
...
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 double array containing the attributes of
the record key 105 as follows:
Column 1 – Node number.
Column 2 – Magnitude.
where #n# is the number of nodes multiplied by the number of
increments. If the results file does not contain the desired
output, #out# will be an empty array
