hi!
I'm trying to integrate abaqus with matlab, in such a way that I want to know the displacement of 1 single node for a given force on an beam structure. In matlab, the solver looks generally like this:
While error >predetermined error
1. F = F + increment
2. Input the Force in the INP file of abaqus
3. Load the displacement from abaqus
4. error = new_displacement - predetermined displacement
end
Now I don't know an efficient way to change the .INP file for the submission of the simulation, or how that should be done otherwise. any recommendations?
Thanks for the fast reply! Appreciate it. I'll try the package and might (hopefully not and it will work ;) ) come back to you later!
Hello Frank,
Thank you for your consideration.
There is the inp2Matlab package which can be used for editing and modifying programmatically already existing Abaqus input files in a loop inside Matlab. You can download the software and its documentation from the following link:

This package will be released soon as a part of Abaqus2Matlab v.3.0.
Please let me know if you need any help.
Best regards.
