help Rec102
ABAQUS velocity output to MATLAB
Syntax
#Rec# = Fil2str('*.fil');
#out# = Rec102(#Rec#)
Description
Read velocity 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 velocity output is 102.
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 velocity results:
...
*FILE FORMAT, ASCII
*NODE FILE
V
...
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 102 as follows:
Column 1 – Node number.
Column 2 – First component of velocity.
Column 3 – Second component of velocity.
Column 4 – Etc
where #n# is the number of nodes multiplied by the number of
increments and #m#-1 is the number of velocities per node. If the
results file does not contain the desired output, #out# will be
an empty array
