How to give output of Fortran code into MATLAB

I have a mathematical model of a physical system written entierly in Fortran. I want to design a controller for that system in Matlab.

For this, I need to transfer the output of the system model from Fortran into Matlab, where Matlab is gonna recieve the output of the

system model and run it through the controller and send it back to Fortran. How can I achieve this?

Thanks!

There are two possible approaches:

• Use data file to communicate before FORTRAN code and matlab program. Use matlab to so a system call of standard alon FORTRAN executable. FORTRAN program generates the output in a data file. Then MATLAB read in the data.
• Write Fortran mex file to call fortran inside matlab.
