Hi,
I am attempting to use your toolbox to extract data. I input an .inp file, but I am running into errors generating .fil files. I tried following instructions of another post using Basic_Template.m and same problem occurs. I even attempted to type in FILE FORMAT, ASCII into the .inp file and I am still running into issues. Any suggestions?
Hello,
The warning "Odb file only contains user-defined data" means that the odb file does not contain any results to show in the viewport. This can happen due to the following reasons:
(1) The Abaqus simulation does not run at all, or does not complete successfully.
(2) The Abaqus simulation runs successfully, but in the input file(s) there are no options for printing any results in the odb file.
I suppose that the first one of the above two happens, since for some reason the fil file is not generated.
Could you send me the input files in a pm in order to give them a check? My email is gpapazafeiropoulos@yahoo.gr .
Thank you.
Hi George,
The files I am running I have already ran the simulations via Abaqus CAE and have generated .odb. I want to find a faster way of extracting specific nodal data, such as the Stress (S) from Set-Surface. When I load my .inp to the Matlab GUI, I request for Stress (S) from the Set-Surface and Set-1, but errors generated are saying .fil files cannot be generated. Below is the error messages:
Warning: Odb file only contains user-defined data.

I hope this detail helps.
Hello,
Check if the Abaqus analysis is completed successfully by checking the *.dat, *.msg and *.sta files. You should be more specific regarding the errors that you are running into and the related details of your model, so that it will be possible to give you some hints.
Best,
George
