How to exit `abaqus` command window, after successful analysis of a job submitted, to `Matlab` script when called from `Matlab`
To exit the abaqus
command window after a successful analysis of a job submitted from a MATLAB script, you can use the MATLAB system
or !
command to call abaqus
as a separate process. Then, you can capture the output of the abaqus
command and check for specific success criteria before exiting the command window.
Here's an example MATLAB script demonstrating how to achieve this:
matlabfunction runAbaqusJobFromMatlab()
% Command to run Abaqus job
abaqusCmd = 'abaqus job=myJobName inp=myInputFile.inp';
% Run Abaqus job as a separate process
[status, cmdOutput] = system(abaqusCmd);
% Check for successful completion based on the output
if status == 0 && contains(cmdOutput, 'Abaqus JOB myJobName COMPLETED') % Customize the success criteria based on your Abaqus output
disp('Abaqus job completed successfully.');
exit;
else
error('Abaqus job failed or did not complete successfully.');
end
end
In this MATLAB script:
Replace
myJobName
with the name of your Abaqus job andmyInputFile.inp
with the name of your Abaqus input file.The
system
function is used to callabaqus
as a separate process, and the output and status of the command are captured.The
contains
function is used to check if the command output contains the success message you expect. Customize the success criteria based on the output of your specific Abaqus analysis.If the Abaqus job completes successfully, the MATLAB script will display a success message and exit the command window using the
exit
command. If the job fails or does not complete successfully, an error message will be displayed.
Remember to adjust the success criteria in the contains
function to match the specific output message you expect from Abaqus when the analysis is successful.
Please note that this script assumes that you have properly set up Abaqus and MATLAB to work together, and that Abaqus can be invoked using the abaqus
command from the command prompt or terminal. Additionally, make sure that your MATLAB script has the necessary permissions to run Abaqus and access the required files.
