Format of result file (.fil)

[eng_arg]

Hi

I have a problem with the format of the *.fil file. Actually I don't
use abaqus cae. I just write an input file and run it in abaqus and I
want to have my nodes, strains, and stresses in a good and clean format
(for example in separate columns) in result file. Is there any command
that by putting it into input file I can specify a good shape for
*.fil ?

Thank you for your time

What you want to do is easy with the .dat and the use of the cards
*NODE PRINT and *EL PRINT. The .fil is more often used for post-
processing purposes with 3rd-party products (like I-Deas, Patran...).

The problem is .dat file does not have any constant format, and the
format changes when I use another file(for example the positions of
strings and numbers changes), and since I want to read the results
by another program (say Matlab) I need a fixed format. I just want
to know if there is a way to change .fil file to a nice ASCII format.
Thank you again

the DAT file is not such a problem. Is just a text file, and as long as you are using Matlab to post-process it, I see no reason to get into troubles.
For instance, as you want the displacements, search for string '"NODE FOOT- '" and then extract the displacements starting with 3 lines below that occurance, for each increment (in case you run a NLG).


j=1;

fid = fopen([filename,'.dat']);

str1='FOOT';

while 1

line = fgetl(fid);

if ~isstr(line), break, end

N=findstr(line,str1);

found = 0;

if ~isempty(N)

line = fgetl(fid);

line = fgetl(fid);

found = 1;

end;

if found == 1

endfound = 0; m=1;

while endfound==0

line = fgetl(fid);

num=str2num(line);

A(j).matrix(m,:) = num(:); %structure matrix A stores the lines you read

%put a condition here to exit your loop, viz. no of lines read
end;
j=j+1;
end;
end;

fclose(fid);



this is working for each increment you have. You may need to put more "exit" conditions. It's easy, and you don't need a particular format to post-process your data.

Hi

I try to get and compare results of two approaches of extracting
natural frequency namely Lanczos and subspace.

The input file as follows:
*Frequency,eigensolver=lanczos
100,

or

*Frequency,eigensolver=subspace
100,


The Lanczos eigensolver can extract 100 frequencies whilst Subspace
only extract 6 frequencies (which are rigid modes). Does anyone know
why this happens?

Thank you.

Subspace should only be used when one wants to extract a small number of
frequencies (typically less than 20). I don't know the details of the code,
so you'll have to have a look at the theory manual if you want more info
than this.

[roshan mahadule]

check out the syntax for subspace solver:
*Frequency,eigensolver=subspace
100,



I am doubtful....Please check once with the deck...

Hallo,

I like to show a "SPRING" shape connecting 2 nodes
while printing an image in MSC/PATRAN with ABAQUS as
solver. Is there any possibility that PATRAN shows an
element connecting 2 nodes in the shape of a spring
and not like a straight line ?

Thanking you,
Nagananda Krishna

I don't think, but maybe in the latest version it is OK... But
Abaqus/Viewer does that.

I think that *.fil is for post-process, You may use *.dat file for your purpose.

If u r using python u can arange it any format and way u want, u can even invent your own extension.
