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.
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 | 
The merge command integrates subcomponents into the main model.
The syntax is
perm2sdt('read result_file')
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.
