Matlab

 evalM
 evaluate a MATLAB(R) expression using MATLAB(R)

 Calling Sequence evalM('string')

Parameters

 string - string defining the operation in MATLAB®

Description

 • The evalM command uses MATLAB® to evaluate an expression constructed with MATLAB® syntax.
 • Matlab[evalM] does not return the result of the evaluation. To capture the result, preface the expression with a MATLAB® variable name. For example, to multiply matrices A and B, use the command Matlab[evalM]("C=A*B"), followed by Matlab[getvar]("C"). Ensure that A and B are already defined in MATLAB®.
 • If an error occurs during the evaluation of the expression, Maple returns a generic error message. Since Maple cannot obtain strings from MATLAB®, there is no way for Maple to determine the specific cause of the error.  If you want to determine the cause of the error, switch to an open MATLAB® window (if possible) and enter the LASTERR command.
 • Executing the evalM command returns a null.

Examples

 > $\mathrm{with}\left(\mathrm{Matlab}\right):$
 > $\mathrm{maplematrix_a}≔\mathrm{Matrix}\left(\left[\left[3,3,2\right],\left[4,5,2\right],\left[6,2,4\right]\right]\right)$
 ${\mathrm{maplematrix_a}}{:=}\left[\begin{array}{rrr}{3}& {3}& {2}\\ {4}& {5}& {2}\\ {6}& {2}& {4}\end{array}\right]$ (1)
 > $\mathrm{maplematrix_b}≔\mathrm{Matrix}\left(\left[\left[3,2,5\right],\left[1,8,2\right],\left[7,3,4\right]\right]\right)$
 ${\mathrm{maplematrix_b}}{:=}\left[\begin{array}{rrr}{3}& {2}& {5}\\ {1}& {8}& {2}\\ {7}& {3}& {4}\end{array}\right]$ (2)
 > $\mathrm{Matlab}[\mathrm{setvar}]\left("matlabmatrix_a",\mathrm{maplematrix_a}\right)$
 > $\mathrm{Matlab}[\mathrm{setvar}]\left("matlabmatrix_b",\mathrm{maplematrix_b}\right)$

These expressions can be manipulated and operated on in MATLAB®.

 > $\mathrm{Matlab}[\mathrm{getvar}]\left("c"\right)$
