How to mesh a structure to get node and coordinate files?

Hi everyone,

I am a starter in learning FEM (Analysis of structrures). Recently, I work on some structures like following pictures

I would like to mesh and get the "node and coordinate file" in order to use in MATLAB. So, Does everyone show me which tool to do this effectively?

Thank you!

Have u used abaqus ? If u make such a structure in abaqus it will give u nodes and elements connectivity . Make this in part and mesh it and then write .inp.file from.job . And.open the .inp file ...so using that connectivity u can plot it in matlab
