Setup a case by commanding in Matlab

Henry Arrigo · March 22, 2014, 14:07

Hi all;
I have a .msh file and I want to setup a .cfx file from that through programming in MATLAB. How is it possible?
I thought recording a session could be the solution but I don t know how to play that session from MATLAB.
Thanks

I am no matlab expert, but I am sure matlab can call command line executables. So then you can do it like any other script file called from the command line - it is just the command line was called from matlab, not the command line (or a batch/shell file).

Thanks Glenn
I could play it with -session. But only on the command line. I still have trouble doing it from MATLAB. Thank you anyway.
btw how shell does work?

Batch files are MS windows, shell scripts are linux.

If it runs from the command line but not from matlab then it sounds like your problem is with matlab, not CFX.
