Reading Connector Element Output

Question

I have specified some connector element outputs with the following record keys to be written in results file (.fil): 500, 503, 505 Related code in .inp file is:

*FILE FORMAT, ASCII
*EL FILE, FREQUENCY=1, ELSET=Prismatic-Wire-Set-1
CRF, CU, CV

Abaqus/Standard successfully runs the file and executes the analysis. However, in MATLAB following code yields empty cell:

ElementRecordKeys=[500, 503, 505];
out = readFil(filFile,ElementRecordKeys,abqDir);

What is the problem? ("filFile" and "abqDir" are properly defined and tested with other recordkeys)

Dear Sajjad Monfared,

The current version of Abaqus2Matlab cannot process connector output yet. The next version, to be released soon, will definitely do this.

Unitl the next version is released, you can p.m. me at gpapazafeiropoulos@yahoo.gr to send you the related code that does the job.

Thanks for your consideration!
