help Rec29
ABAQUS section strain and curvature output to MATLAB
Syntax
#Rec# = Fil2str('*.fil');
#out# = Rec29(#Rec#)
Description
Read section strain and curvature 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
section strain and curvature output is 29. 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 section strain and curvature results:
...
*FILE FORMAT, ASCII
*EL FILE
SE
...
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 29 as follows:
Column 1 – First section strain.
Column 2 – Second section strain.
Column 3 – Etc. (See “Elements” in Abaqus Analysis User's
Manual for a definition of the number and type of the components
for the element type).
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 section strain and curvature components of
each element. If the results file does not contain the desired
output, #out# will be an empty array
