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.

Model 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 and

perm2sdt('ascii.mtl File.mtl') for ASCII files.
