Control PostFEKO Using Matlab

Hi,

Is there a way to control PostFEKo Using Matlab?

I am trying to import different time-domain pulses to POSTFEKO (one by one) and extract the time domain response from POSTFEKO using Matlab. I have too many pulses so it will be easy to do it automatically.

POSTFEKO can be controlled through the API. See section "I: User Interface Tools" in the Altair_Feko_User_Guide.pdf in the help folder.

To run a POSTFEKO script from the command line, you can use e.g.

postfeko --run-script myscript.lua

You can also make changes to the script variables by using e.g.

postfeko --run-script myscript.lua --configure-script "exportData=true; height=3" --non-interactive

The command line options are given when you type:

postfeko -h

From Matlab I am not sure about the exact syntax for executing command line commands. Best you refer to Matlab for help on that.

Thanks for the replay. I am not really familiar with lua scripting.

Do you mind helping me to write a simple Lua script that call a text file, which has a time-domain pulse, and save the corresponding time-domain load voltage on other text file?

I will appreciate it if you can also refer to the documentation to help understand Lua scripting.
