Matlab and OpenSees using NeesHub

[andrett7]

Dear all,

is there the possibility to run a matlab file that calls a tcl file using the OpenSees Lab tool in NEES hub?

Thanks for the interest,
Andrea

no as they had too many people using it and only a few licences. though you could ask. if stuck, try using octave (a free matlab like program that uses exact same syntax so basic .m files work w.o need for any modifications) instead.

Thanks Dr. McKenna for the reply, I'll look for octave.
However, is there some special scripts to run a m file using OpenSees interpreter? For example, in a m file I can run a tcl file using:
!OpenSees Main.tcl

Is there the opposite instruction?

Thanks,
Andrea

the commmand you want is exec, have a look at the example here:

Many thanks Dr. McKenna

Hi,
Could you tell me please why when we use "!OpenSees Model.tcl", MATLAB calls that file? what does "!" do in MATLAB? Can we use this for other files written in other languages (such as Model.cpp)?!
Thanks a lot

you can call any program you want from matlab .. this is not an OpenSeees question ..

Hi, I tested the interpreter and a command like:

exec matlab -nosplash -r "FileName" works.

Can I make the same thing with Octave?

exec octave -nosplash -r "FileName"

Thanks,
Andrea

I found that exec octave -r "FileName.m" does not work. Is there an equivalent command for Octave?

Thanks in advance

the following works for me on NEEShub

exec /usr/bin/octave FileName.m --silent

Many thanks.
