I am trying to run Omnet++ and matlab software in parallel and want them to communicate. When Omnet++ is running, I want to update the position of the node and for that I want to edit the .ned and .int files with matlab results continuously. During simulation I want to generate the result file using the updated files. I want just to update the position and don't want to add or delete any node. Please suggest me a way for proceeding?
matlab_loop
{
matlab_writes_position_in_ned_file;
delay(100ms);
}
omnet_loop
{
omnet_loads_ned_and_simulates;
//sca and vec should update;
delay(100ms);
}
Thank you.
NED and Ini files are read only during initialization of the model. You can't "read" them again after the simulation started. On the other hand, you are free to modify your parameters and create/delete modules using OMNeT++'s C++ API. What you want to achieve is basicaly: set your node position based on some calculations carried out by matlab code. The proper way to do it:
Generate C code from your matlab code.
Link that code to your OMNeT++ model
Create a new mobility model (assuming you are using INET) that is using the matlab code
What you are looking for seems to be more of a project rather than a question/problem which can be solved in Q&A site like stackoverflow.
Unfortunately, I have little understanding of matlab and V-REP to provide you a satisfactory answer. However, it seems that you will need to play around with APIs in lower levels.
As an example of coupling different simulation tools to form a simulation framework in case of need consider reading this paper and this
Also note the answer given by #Rudi. He seems to know what he is talking about.

I'm working on a script to convert a Simulink library to a plain model, meaning it can be simulated, it does not auto-lock etc.
Is there a way to do this with code aside from basically copy-pasting every single block into a new model? And if it isn't, what is the most efficient way to do the "copy-paste".
I was not able to find any clues as how to approach this problem here, or on Google, or on the official documentation or on the MathWorks forum so I'm at a loss on how to proceed.
Thank you in advance!
I don't think it's possible to convert a library to a model, but you can programmatically add library blocks to models like so:
sys = 'testModel';
new_system(sys);
open_system(sys);
add_block('Simulink/Sources/Sine Wave', [sys, '/MySineWave']);
save_system(sys);
close_system(sys);
sim(sys);
You could even use the find_system command to list all the blocks in a library and then loop through them all and create a new model for each using the above code.
I was wondering if it would be possible that link AnyLogic to Matlab?
I need a way that call a function from Matlab to Anylogic.
At this level AnyLogic should be considered as Java application, and the question should be formulated as Link Java and Matlab. You may search for different Java libraries that establish connection with MatLab and Java app, allowing to pass commands from app to Matlab, and get the result. Example of such library — matlabcontrol. There is also example model.
UPD: Matlab provides Java API for AnyLogic, so you may directly use it within AnyLogic. In this case third-party libraries are not required. For this purpose you need to add engine.jar to the model dependencies, the .jar is provided with Matlab, it is located in:
matlab\extern\engines\java\jar
Here is the model that invokes Matlab using the respective examples from:
matlab\extern\examples\engines\java
I'm not sure which direction you are talking about.
calling a matlab function in anylogic:
Since Anylogic is based on Java, you could use the Java Runtime class, and do something like:
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process pr = rt.exec("C:\<a long path here>\matlab.exe" -nodisplay -nosplash -nodesktop -r "run('C:\<a long path here>\mfile.m');exit;"
after that you need to get the output from the process object pr and do your magic.

I have a Simulink model, the purpose of which is automated code generation.
My model uses S-functions (developed by another party), which has hard-coded assumptions about the path. For instance, several external data files are needed, which are referenced in the S-function via a relative path like ..\Bin\data\datafile.bin. This makes it necessary to set MATLAB's current working directory to a specific path before the model can be run.
I can automatically check and set the correct path via model callback functions. However, all model callback functions only seem to be related to the simulation process, not the build process. That means that I can run the model irrespective of what directory I'm in, but when I try to build the model, it always fails unless I manually navigate MATLAB back to the correct directory.
Needless to say, that's quite annoying. So I was wondering if there is something like a "preBuildFcn" callback fnuction, a function that is run before starting the build process? Any other solution (that does not involve modifying the S-function) is also very welcome.
There are plenty of hooks into the build process of Simulink / Embedded Coder ('entry', 'before_tlc', 'after_tlc', 'before_make', 'after_make', 'exit', and 'error'). I assume you want an 'entry' hook.
All you need to do is write an M-function with the name your_system_target_file name_make_rtw_hook, as explained in the documentation Customize Build Process with STF_make_rtw_hook File.
In case you can't open the online documentation (login required), here is the path to the HTML in your MATLAB installation: MATLAB root\help\rtw\ug\customizing-the-target-build-process-with-the-stf-make-rtw-hook-file.html
I am not sure whether building simulink models is sufficiently similar to building regular MATLAB programs, but here is what I used in the past:
Set up the project manually
Build the project programmatically
The program that is used to build the project should be able to set the path or do other custom things.
need some help on this.
Currently I am doing a project on computer vision that requires me to train a new model to detect a certain object.
In this case, I am using the system provided by P. Felzenszwalb, D. McAllester, D. Ramaman and his team => Discriminatively trained deformable part models which is implemented in Matlab.
Project webpage: http://www.cs.uchicago.edu/~pff/latent/.
However I have no idea how to direct the system to use my dataset(a collection of images and annotation) which is different from the the PASCAL datasets so as to train a new model.
By directing, I meant a line of code that allows me to change the dataset the system reads from, for training a model.
E.g.
% directory for caching models, intermediate data, and results
cachedir = ['/var/tmp/rbg/YOURPATH/' VOCyear '/'];
I tried looking at their Readme and documentation guides but they do not make any mention. Do correct me if I am wrong.
Let me know if I have not made my problem clear enough.
I tried looking at some files such as global.m but no go.
Your help is much appreciated and thanks in advance!
You can try to read pascal.m in the DPM package(voc-release5), there are similar code working on VOC2007/2010 dataset.
There are plenty of parts that need to be adapted to achieve this. For example the voc_config has to be adapted in order to read from your files.
The same with the pascal_train.m function. Depending on the images and the way you parse them, this may require quite some time to adapt this function.
Other functions to consider:
imreadx
pascal_test
pascaleval
I have a simple model from simulink and I would like to generate code using the code generator in the simulink and then compile it using gcc into a .ELF object file. How can I proceed?
Thanks
You need the product called Simulink Coder (around matlab 2011b) or Real-time Workshop (for older matlab versions). Typing ver at the matlab command window will show what products and licences you have installed.
If Simulink Coder or RTW are installed, you use the menu Simulation->Configuration Parameters to set up the model for code generation.
If you have Embedded Coder you can set System Target File to ert.tlc, and this will produce a very concise main() routine to call your model code. Otherwise, use grt.tlc which produces a lot more bloat then ert, but is the only useful one available for on Windows.
There are a lot of options to go through and check - it really needs someone with a bit of experience to be present!
As you are requesting an ELF file, is this for an embedded system? If so, there is a lot more work to be done. If the target is not one of the already supported targets, then you need a target package, which will take either a lot of time and experience, or money to buy one.
Custom target development - a world of it's own:
