help Rec201
ABAQUS temperature output to MATLAB
Syntax
#Rec# = Fil2str('*.fil');
#out# = Rec201(#Rec#)
Description
Read temperature 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 temperature output
is 201. 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 temperature results:
...
*FILE FORMAT, ASCII
*NODE FILE
NT
...
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 201 as follows:
Column 1 – Node number.
Column 2 – Temperature.
Column 3 – Etc (for heat shells)
where #n# is the number of nodes multiplied by the number of
increments and #m#-1 is the number of temperatures per node. If
the results file does not contain the desired output, #out# will
be an empty array
