perm2sdt#
Purpose
Read results from outputs of the PERMAS (V7.0) finite element code.
Syntax
out = perm2sdt('Read Model_FileName') out = perm2sdt('Read Result_FileName') out = perm2sdt('merge',model) out = perm2sdt('binary.mtl Matrix_FileName') out = perm2sdt('ascii.mtl Matrix_FileName')
Description
The perm2sdtfunction reads PERMAS model, result and matrices files. Binary and ASCII files are supported.
filesModel files#
To read a FE model, use the following syntax: model = perm2sdt('Read FileName')
To deal with sub-components, you may use the merge command.
The current element equivalence table is
| SDT | PERMAS |
| mass2 | MASS3, MASS6, X1GEN6 |
| bar1 | FLA2 |
| beam1 | PLOTL2, BECOC, BECOS, BECOP, BETOP, BETAC, FDPIPE2, X2GEN6 |
| celas | SPRING3, SPRING6, SPRING1, X2STIFF3 |
| t3p | TRIM3 |
| tria3 | TRIA3, TRIA3K, TRIA3S, FSINTA3 |
| quad4 | QUAD4, FSINTA4, QUAD4S, PLOTA4, SHELL4 |
| flui4 | FLTET4 |
| tetra4 | TET4 |
| tetra10 | TET10 |
| penta6 | PENTA6, FLPENT6 |
| hexa8 | HEXE8, FLHEX8 |
| pyra5 | PYRA5, FLPYR5 |
Merging model#
The merge command integrates subcomponents into the main model.
Result files#
The syntax is
perm2sdt('read result_file')
Matrix files#
perm2sdtreads binary and ASCII .mtl file format. The syntax is
perm2sdt('binary.mtl File.mtl') for binary files and perm2sdt('ascii.mtl File.mtl') for ASCII files.
