help Rec28
ABAQUS heat flux vector output to MATLAB
Syntax
#Rec# = Fil2str('*.fil');
#out# = Rec28(#Rec#)
Description
Read heat flux vector 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 heat flux vector
output is 28. 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 heat flux vector results:
...
*FILE FORMAT, ASCII
*EL FILE
HFL
...
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 28 as follows:
Column 1 – Magnitude.
Column 2 – First component.
Column 3 – Second component.
Column 4 – Etc.
where #n# is the number of elements multiplied by the number of
integration points multiplied by the number of increments, and
#m# is the number of heat flux vector components of each element.
If the results file does not contain the desired output, #out#
will be an empty array
