Dear all,

I am not sure that this is a right place to ask this question but I asked in Mathworks and no-one answered me. I run fluent from matlab by the following command:

system('F:"Program Files""ANSYS Inc"\v195\fluent\ntbin\win64\fluent.exe -gr 2ddp -t4 -i filename.jou');

and In the later sections I need the results of this simulation to be analyzed. for example there are some output velocities which should be analyzed in matlab. When I run the code it run fluent but after starting fluent it goes to other sections without hesitation and doesn't wait for fluent to complete simulation. Do you know how I can order Matlab to wait until results are ready and fluent simulation is completed?

you may try to use a trick here:
wait until fluent will create file specified by you, which will be created after simulation is finished

on the other hand you may run Fluent as a server (Fluent AAS). In that case you may control almost everything from matlab

Thank you. It worked
but I found using this command run fluent in batch mode so not need to order matlab to wait

system('F:"Program Files""ANSYS Inc"\v195\fluent\ntbin\win64\fluent.exe -hidden 2ddp -t4 -i filename.jou');
