Hi all, I would like to read an ODB file results into MATLAB. First I upload the file, then it shows me that the file has been selected. Then I go to Explore and click on Outputs then on Field Output Variable Results. Then a window opens where I choose which variable I want, etc. Then I click on Generate Code. But when I run the code in MATLAB, it tells me in the Workspace Center that there is an error in the function "giveformat2ODBFunction". The error that is displayed is in this line: FIELDS=strsplit(fieldOutput{1,1}.componentLabels); Unfortunately, I can't understand the whole function and I don't know where the problem could be. Can anyone help me with this? It would also be nice if someone could make a tutorial on the latest version. Many thanks in advance! Many greetings, Elias Sandouk

Hello - thank you for the fantastic work on this package. Is it possible to write out the total kinetic energy in the model, and then import it to Matlab using Abaqus2Matlab? It seems like I need to use the Record 1999 identifier (http://130.149.89.49:2080/v6.14/books/usb/default.htm), but I don't see this function in the documentation for Abaqus2Matlab. FYI - here is what the footer of my .inp file looks like: *OUTPUT, HISTORY, TIME INTERVAL=1.0E-4 *ENERGY OUTPUT ALLKE Thanks!!

Dear George, i tried to switch to the new Abaqus2Matlab Version 3.0. While everything else seems to be working fine, i have encountered a problem with extracting Nodal Displacements from fil-Files: When using an abaqus model with C3D8 Elements i get 37 entries for nodal displacements, with C3D20 elements I get 17 entries. Matlab Script looks like this: file1 = 'C:\temp\Abaqus2Matlabv3\Job-layers.fil'; Rec1 = fil2Str(file1); recKey1 = 8; %Coordinate Output (Element) recKey2 = 11; %Stress Output (Element) recKey3 = 101; %Coordinate Output (Nodal) recKey4 = 107; %Displacements (Nodal) step = 1; incr = 1; outReq = []; [outNum8_1, outStr8_1, incrOut8_1] = readFilElement(Rec1, recKey1, step, incr, outReq); [outNum11_1, outStr11_1, incrOut11_1] = readFilElement(Rec1, recKey2, step, incr, outReq); [outNum101_1, outStr101_1, incrOut101_1] = readFilNode(Rec1, recKey3, step, incr, outReq); [outNum107_1, outStr107_1, incrOut107_1] = readFilNode(Rec1, recKey4, step, incr, outReq); All results seem to give the desired results for all Elements and all Nodes except for Rec101. Using the Rec101 function from previous A2M versions with the same files works outNum101_1 = Rec101(Rec1); and gives the results for all nodes. Any idea what could cause the problem? Another thing that i haven't worked out yet is how to get the results I am used to for Rec1900. Could you help me generate the same output (Matrix with Elementnr., Element Type, 1st element node, 2nd element node, ... ) with A2Mv3? Thank you in advance and best regards, Christoph
