Hello,

You have to run Abaqus2Matlab on a 64 bit Windows PC, in order for it to work correctly.

Also, it seems that you have sent some images that for some reason I cannot see. You can send me your codes and other stuff at gpapazafeiropoulos@yahoo.gr if you want, in order for me to help you, if possible.

Best,

George

Hello

thank you for reply. but I don't do true. please help me.

Press the Write in put button to see error message in Command window

Please wait, Abaqus2Matlab is being installed on this PC...

Hello,

Have you checked if the odb file exists in your working directory?

Is the Abaqus analysis run successfully before Abaqus2Matlab tries to read the odb file?

Best,

George
