I am trying to interfacing between Ansys Fluent 2019R2 and Matlab. I can run my Fluent simulation via Matlab. Now I am trying to calculate mass weighted average temperature of a volume and I have used this Matlab command

iFluentTuiInterpreter.doMenuCommandToString('repor t volume-integrals mass-avg (channel) temperature n')

This code can measure the temperature and can print the value in Matlab command window. But now I want to save this value in another variable so that I can use this number in post-processing. I am trying to use this command

iFluentTuiInterpreter.doMenuCommandToString('defin e variable pick report volume-integrals mass-avg (channel) temperature n')

but its not working. Can someone please help?

Thank you.

Would you like to set fluent to write this value to a file, and then read it in matlab? Or this would be bad for your case.

I am trying to directly read and store this value in Matlab.

If you tried to do this through an external file, would it work at all, or would it create issues with the timing?

I think external file would also work but since I am trying to combine few other software, it might slowed down the simulation. Anyway I already solved the issue. My code is something like this-
x=iFluentTuiInterpreter.doMenuCommandToString('rep or t volume-integrals mass-avg (channel) temperature n'); %it will save temperature as a string called x
y=char(x); % convert x into a character
....
Then I split the character and finally convert the appropriate character into a number.

Thank you.
