Write Fortran Engine Applications - MATLAB & Simulink (original) (raw)

Engine applications are standalone programs that allow you to call MATLAB® from your own Fortran programs, using MATLAB as a computation engine. To build a Fortran engine application, you need:

• The ability to write Fortran source code. You can create these files with the MATLAB Editor.
• A Fortran compiler supported by MATLAB. For an up-to-date list of supported compilers, see Supported and Compatible Compilers.
• Fortran Matrix API functions. However, the mxGetProperty and mxSetProperty functions are not supported for standalone applications.
• Fortran Engine Library functions. For more information, see MATLAB Engine APIs for C and Fortran.
• To build the application, call the mex command with the -client engine option.

To run the application, tell the operating system where the API shared libraries reside by setting the relevant environment variable.

• Set Run-Time Library Path on Windows Systems
• Set Run-Time Library Path on macOS Systems
• Set Run-Time Library Path on Linux Systems

On Windows, Register MATLAB as a COM Server.
