一个新的提交已经提出，旨在提供Abaqus和Matlab之间的链接。提交有一个新工具箱的形式(一个包含Matlab代码，Abaqus代码以及相关应用程序和示例的zip文件)。

经常发生的情况是，研究人员不得不求助于需要将Abaqus与Matlab相关联的技术和/或算法。第一个是用于执行各种类型的有限元分析的商业有限元软件。在某些情况下，Abaqus分析的结果需要以某种方式进行后处理。实现这一点的第一步是使各种输出数据以某种方式易于操作。另一方面，Matlab编程语言通常用于各种任务，因为它是一种高级编程语言，使用户能够轻松处理所涉及的各种数据。因此，必须在Abaqus和Matlab之间建立一个链接，以便轻松地将结果从前者转移到后者进行进一步处理。

众所周知，Abaqus可以以两种方式运行:打开Abaqus/CAE并在job模块中提交作业，或者打开Abaqus/Command并通过指定包含要进行的分析所需选项的输入文件来运行分析。除此之外，还可以在Matlab中运行Abaqus分析，而无需打开Abaqus/CAE甚至Abaqus/Command。这在abaquus2matlab包中包含的各种验证分析中得到了证明。

Although Abaqus uses user subroutines written in Fortran programming language and Python for various tasks, until today it is not configured to interface with Matlab in some way. Abaqus2Matlab is a Matlab toolbox, which can be used to retrieve results from an Abaqus analysis, with a very small modification of the input file. The modification necessary for Abaqus to produce the results requested can be seen in the manuals of the functions accompanying this toolbox.

Abaqus2Matlab is a program for the extraction of Abaqus analysis results to Matlab. It is written in MATLAB programming language and is available as source code distributed under a BSD-style license (see License.txt inside the package). This toolbox aims to solve the aforementioned issues, and to provide a linking between Abaqus and Matlab, which will enable the two different softwares to cooperate, enabling thus Abaqus users to effectively postprocess Abaqus results.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: After downloading the package, the files have to be extracted. After this, open the file named "Documentation.m" in Matlab and run it (press F5). Then, type "web('Documentation.html')" in the Matlab command window (then enter) to view the documentation of Abaqus2Matlab.

The author of this package is open to any recommendations, observations, bug reports, comments (positive or negative), which will be used as a feedback to improve the toolbox in future versions.
