Running ABAQUS CAE through MATLAB 7

Submitted by raul_bobby on Wed, 05/14/2008 - 14:42

Dear all,

I went through the forums and came across one similar topic, posted by alex_612 "Using Matlab to optimize the ABAQUS/Explicit FE mode", but with no replies. So I would like to bring this similar topic up again.

The problem:

1. I would like to open ABAQUS CAE thought MATLAB (which i have managed to do with the dos('command')), and then run a script as well, through MATLAB. I am using MATLAB 7 and would preferably like to run the whole process thought MATLAB.

2. Is there any reference to this kind of method anywhere? has it been done before? Is it possible at all?

Any help would be very grateful, thank you all very much in advance!

Best regards,

Raul

Hi Raul,
Yes, it's feasible. I'm doing the similar thing. To call a executable in Matlab without quitting it, just use the "!".

You can check out Matlab help: Running External Programs

Check out this paper: Journal of Biomechanics 40 (2007) 936–940 and its supplement material, this is exactly what you look for.

Good luck.

I need the same help!

Sir,

I am naive to optimization by linking amaqus to matlab. Please help. So that I also can reach to the next step of my research.

:-)

Thanks and Regards

Hi!

I have to do a similar thing but since i am new to both Abaqus and matlab i wd appreciate if any one of you can give me some sort of example file that i can use to learn how to connect both sofwares. I have tried on my own with the guidelines u described but it didnt work. my email is yasirzahoor [at] yahoo.com.

Thanks
