You can import that file into ABAQUS/CAE using the "import model" menu item in the "file" menu.

Dear Jorgen,

I tried to imoprt the data from Matlab to ABAQUS but I get error massage in ABAQUS:


Best regards

The file that you import needs to contain the node definitions (*Node, ...)
and the element definitions (*Element, type=...).

Did the file that you created from Matlab contain that information?

You are not too far off. The file that you create needs to have the following format:


*Node
1, x, y, z
2, x, y, z
...
*Element, type=(element_type)
1, n1, n2, n3, ...


In other words, each node needs a unique node number. Then you also need to specify how the nodes as connected into finite elements. I suggest that you read the ABAQUS manuals for more info about *Node and *Element.
