Running Matlab in ADS2006A fails

Hi

I have ADS2006A installed on a WinXP 64 bit machine. I run ADS2006A in 32bit mode.

I have setup a matlab by running matlab /regsvr in the command prompt to setup DDE/COM as mentioned in the documents.

If I run the matlab example (setup the correct path for th m file) I get an error saying 'abnormal simulator termination' and then a window message box saying 'hpeesofsim.exe has encounterd a problem and needs to close...' etc.

Please can someone advise me on how I can setup matlab to work with ADS. The matlab version I have is 7.3.0.267 (R2006b)

Thanks in advance

Marino

The supported MATLAB versions for ADS 2006A are:

MATLAB Release 13 (version 6.5 Service Pack 1)
MATLAB Release 14 (version 7.1 Service Pack 3)

This is mentioned in the "ADS Ptolemy Simulation" manual, "Introduction to MATLAB Cosimulation" chapter, "Supported MATLAB Versions" section.

Other versions of MATLAB have not been tested with ADS 2006A; they may or may not work.

Thanks for your reply.

I wonder if anyone else has tried using the same version of matlab as I have?

So I have now tried to see if I could use the matlab file import feature. Again I used one of the m-files from the examples. When the wizard is done a command prompt window opens, sh.exe I believe. At this point my pc locks up. Using the task manager to see what process is running, I see that my pc is using up 35G of virtual memory and a process is spawned many times. Eventually the pc freezes completely and needs reseting.

Something similar happens, if I try and use the hpeesofmb tool. But this topic may require a new thread!

Thanks,
Marino

If MATLAB has not changed its directory structure then I do not see any reason why the 7.3.0.267 version should not work. However, since this version was not tested with ADS 2006A I cannot make any definite statements.

The other problem you are seeing (same process spawned hundreds of times) is probably due to cygwin. I think for 64-bit machines there are installation instructions that mention you have to rename the directory %HPEESOF_DIR%\tools\bin to
%HPEESOF_DIR%\tools\bin_32 and the directory
%HPEESOF_DIR%\tools\bin_64 to %HPEESOF_DIR%\tools\bin.

Have you tried this?

If this does not work try to not autogenerate the bitmap.

Regardng the problem with hpeesofmb, this could be caused by cygwin as described above. In any case, the Ptolemy modelbuilder is not supported on Win XP 64-bit so there is no reason you should run hpeesofmb.
