help Rec14
ABAQUS energy density output to MATLAB
Syntax
#Rec# = Fil2str('*.fil');
#out# = Rec14(#Rec#)
Description
Read energy density 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 energy density
output is 14. 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 energy density results:
...
*FILE FORMAT, ASCII
*EL FILE
ENER
...
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 7]) is a double array containing the attributes of
the record key 14 as follows:
Column 1 – Strain energy.
Column 2 – Plastic dissipation.
Column 3 – Creep dissipation.
Column 4 – Viscous dissipation.
Column 5 – Electrostatic energy.
Column 6 – Energy dissipated due to electrical conduction.
Column 7 – Damage dissipation.
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
