Hi Sagnik,

To execute Abaqus files using MATLAB, you can follow these steps:

1. Create a new MATLAB file in the same directory as your Abaqus input file.
2. In the MATLAB file, use the following command:

system('abaqus job=inputfile_name  interactive')    

This command should be sufficient to run your Abaqus file from MATLAB(replace the inputfile_name with your .inp file name from Abaqus).

Once the command is executed, you should see the 'odb' files generated in the target directory.

Hope this helps!
