Before program execution, the analysis jobs must be run to generate results
files to be read by the program. In this example three jobs are run. The input
files for these analyses are fjoin002.inp,
fjoin003.inp, and fjoin004.inp. The
results files from these analyses are output in binary format and are called
fjoin002.fil, fjoin003.fil, and
fjoin004.fil.
The FJOIN
program will read these files via
Fortran units 2
,
3
, and 4
. The
name of the new file will be fjoinxxx. Before running the
program, the results files must be renamed to
fjoinxxx.002, fjoinxxx.003, and
fjoinxxx.004. Note that the root file names are the same
(defined using FNAME
), and that the extensions
are set to the Fortran unit numbers used to open the files.
When the program is executed using the command abaqus
fjoin
, the first prompt will be
Enter the number of files to be joined:
Enter 3
to set
NRU=3
. The second prompt will be
Enter the unit number of input file # 1:
Enter 2
to define
LRUNIT(1,1)=2
. At the third prompt,
Enter the format of input file # 1 (1-ASCII, 2-binary):
enter 2
. This sets
LRUNIT(2,1)=2
and means that the file being
read is binary. The second and third prompts are repeated for each additional
file to be processed. The program will then ask whether the new results file
should be written in ASCII or binary format,
Enter the format of the output file (1-ASCII, 2-binary):
Enter 2
to set
LOUTF=2
, which specifies that binary format
has been chosen for the new results file. The format of the output file may be
different from the format of the input files, so this program can also be used
to convert the format of results files. Finally, when the program issues the
prompt
Enter the name of the input files (w/o extension):
enter fjoinxxx
to define
FNAME
(the input files must have been given
the root file name fjoinxxx; the output file will be
created as fjoinxxx.fin).
As soon as the nth file has been processed, the
message END OF FILE
#
n is written to the terminal.
After all files have been processed, the program stops and the new results file
is created. The new results file created by this program contains stress and
strain records at all integration points in each element and at all nodal
points.
