help Rec61
ABAQUS element status output to MATLAB
Syntax
#Rec# = Fil2str('*.fil');
#out# = Rec61(#Rec#)
Description
Read element status 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 element status
output is 61 (only in ABAQUS/Explicit). 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 element status results:
...
*FILE FORMAT, ASCII
*EL FILE
STATUS
...
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 1]) is a double array containing the attributes of
the record key 61 as follows:
Column 1 – Status of element (shear failure model, tensile
failure model, porous failure criterion, brittle failure model,
Johnson-Cook plasticity model, and VUMAT). The status of an
element is 1.0 if the element is active, 0.0 if the element is
not.
where #n# is the number of elements multiplied by the number of
increments. If the results file does not contain the desired
output, #out# will be an empty array
