help Rec22
ABAQUS plastic strain output to MATLAB
Syntax
#Rec# = Fil2str('*.fil');
#out# = Rec22(#Rec#)
Description
Read plastic strain output from the results (*.fil) file generated
from the ABAQUS finite element software (ABAQUS/Explicit). The
asterisk (*) is replaced by the name of the results file. The record
key for plastic strain output is 22. 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 plastic strain results:
...
*FILE FORMAT, ASCII
*EL FILE
PE
...
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 6]) is a double array containing the attributes of
the record key 22 as follows:
Column 1 – First plastic strain component.
Column 2 – Second plastic strain component.
Column 3 – Etc; followed by the equivalent plastic strain,
actively yielding flag (yes or no, A8 format), and magnitude of
plastic strain in Abaqus/Standard; followed by “0.0, UNUSED, 0.0”
in Abaqus/Explicit for consistency with the length of the
Abaqus/Standard record.
where #n# is the number of elements multiplied by the number of
integration points multiplied by the number of section points
(for shell, beam, or layered solid elements) multiplied by the
number of increments. If the results file does not contain the
desired output, #out# will be an empty array
