RE: Call an external FEM software from Matlab

One way is to pass data by files on the OS and invoke your application through a MATLAB OS call.  The bang operator (!) will invoke the OS and pass any command you place after it to the OS.  FOr DOS you can also use dos( callAnsys() )

Read the help file on ! and dos.
