Ansys INPUT file conversion to MATLAB?

09 September 2018 1 481 Report

Does anyone have experience importing Ansys 'input' files to MATLAB?

I am looking to read in the contents of the txt file and extract the nodal data into MATLAB arrays.

The end goal will be to access these arrays, carry out modifications and then have matlab reconfigure the data back into a txt file that can be read into Ansys. However for now I am only focusing on the importing side.

Yes you can extract co-ordinates, nodes information, connectivity,etc from ANSYS as *.dat file and can give those as input to your MATLAB program.
