Dear George Thanks for your response. That's what I had tried to do, but I didn't understand what the values of the vector obtained with readNodeFieldOdb for the COORD coordinates corresponded to. Now I know that the vector has this shape: odbOut_Coord = [COORD1_Node1_TimeIncrement0, COORD2_Node1_TimeIncrement0, COORD3_Node1_TimeIncrement0, MAGNITUDE_Node1_TimeIncrement0, COORD1_Node2_TimeIncrement0, COORD2_Node2_TimeIncrement0, COORD3_Node2_TimeIncrement0, MAGNITUDE_Node2_TimeIncrement0, ...] That's how I was able to solve my problem. Thank you. Best regards, Fabien.
Hello,
Under Abaqus, I made a simulation allowing to observe the temperature evolution on a surface of a metal sheet. I would like to be able to compare these results from the odb file with the experimental results thanks to matlab.
Thanks to the application Abaqus2Matlab, I was able to transfer the odb data to Matlab with the function readNodeFieldOdb. I get a 1xn matrix containing all the temperatures of the nodes during the whole simulation. However, I don't know to which nodes these values correspond to. This is why I would like to know if it is possible to reconstitute under matlab the surface of my sheet of metal using these nodes with the corresponding temperatures.
Thanks
