Launching SOFA from Matlab script

[garciaguevara]

This was tried in Ubuntu machine.

1. Launch Matlab preloading libraries that Sofa uses.

LD_PRELOAD=”/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5OpenGL.so.5:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Widgets.so.5:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Gui.so.5:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5″ matlab

2. From a Matlab script launch sofa.

pathToSofaScene = fullfile(PATH_TO_SOFA_SCENES, ‘sofaScene.scn’)
[status, result] = system([‘PATH_TO_SOFA_BIN/runSofa -g batch -n 10’ pathToSofaScene]);

It reads in result the sofa terminal output.

Note. Matlab plots, and other Qt related funcitons (write png images) will be a bit broken

Thank you for sharing Jaime!

Also, in Windows there is no need to load any library. Just write a Matlab scripts as:
pathToSofaScene = ‘”FULL ADDRESS TO YOUR SCENE\scene.scn”‘;
[status, result] = system([‘C:\Users\XXX\SOFA\vXXX\bin\runSofa -g batch -n 100 ‘ pathToSofaScene])
