Hi Rouhollah,

The general way to access “opensees” is by writing the required commands to a file, and then using “system()” to run the “opensees” executable redirecting input from the file you just created to the “opensees” executable. Here’s a code snippet to illustrate this process:

file = 'YourOpenSeesScript.tcl'; 
% Run the file from MATLAB 
cmd = sprintf ('OpenSees.exe < "%s"', file); 
system(file); 

After your “opensees” program has been run, you can load the results back into MATLAB.
