help Rec19
ABAQUS energy (summed over element) output to MATLAB
Syntax
#Rec# = Fil2str('*.fil');
#out# = Rec19(#Rec#)
Description
Read energy (summed over element) 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 (summed over element) output is 19. 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 (summed over element) results:
...
*FILE FORMAT, ASCII
*EL FILE
ELEN
...
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 10]) is a double array containing the attributes of
the record key 19 as follows:
Column 1 – Kinetic energy.
Column 2 – Strain energy.
Column 3 – Plastic dissipation.
Column 4 – Creep dissipation.
Column 5 – Viscous dissipation, not including dissipation due
to stabilization.
Column 6 – Static dissipation (due to stabilization).
Column 7 – Artificial strain energy.
Column 8 – Electrostatic energy.
Column 9 – Electrical energy dissipated in a conductor.
Column 10 – 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
