Reads data vector from a file. The data is organized in terms of subcase, type, request, and component. The function has two forms. Use the first form when there is zero or at most one subcase and use the second form when there are multiple subcases.

Attention: Valid only with Altair CAE Readers and Writers Extension.

Syntax

readvector(filename, subcase, datatype, request, component)

R = readvector(...)

Inputs

filename: Path of the file to be read.; Type: string
subcase: Subcase name or index in the file to be read.; Type: string | int
datatype: Data type name or index in the file to be read.; Type: string | int | cell
request: Request name or index in the file to be read.; Type: string | int | cell
component: Component name or index in the file to be read.; Type: string | int | cell

Outputs

R: Data vector read from the file.

Examples

readvector where data contains multiple subcases:

readvector('Path/To/File/modal_participation.f06','Subcase 11','Natural Frequency','FLUID','REL | Mode')

R = {

Comments

When using readvector without the use of releasefileinfo in sequence, the subsequent executions of the script will load a version of the file that is already in the memory, not from the disk.
