Thank you, I have used it, but it exports brain whole model and I am not able to test parts interaction it in ABAQUS. is there any way to export brain's different parts in order to assign various material properties and then assemble them.

yes, you can use the last column (labels) of the elem element to separate each region. for example

[no, el]=removeisolatednode(node, elem(elem(:,5)==1, 1:4));
saveabaqus(no,volface(el),el,'label1');

[no, el]=removeisolatednode(node, elem(elem(:,5)==2, 1:4));
saveabaqus(no,volface(el),el,'label2');

calling removeisolatednode only keeps the nodes in the specified region, resulting in smaller file sizes.
