Error during Tutorial First Steps

[sbe70]

Hi,

I have installed Octave and OpenEMS. When I go through the check list for the installation I get the following

In Matlab

Code: Select all

>> InitCSX
Undefined function or variable 'InitCSX'.

In Octave

Code: Select all

>> InitCSX
ans =

  scalar structure containing the fields:

    Properties = [](0x0)
    ATTRIBUTE =

      scalar structure containing the fields:

        CoordSystem = 0

Why do I get different answers? When I go through the Tutorial First Steps I get an error message when trying to run OpenEMS in Matlab

Code: Select all

>> RunOpenEMS( '.', 'nonexistant.xml', '' )
Undefined function or variable 'RunOpenEMS'.

Approciate all help.

Best Regards
Stefan

Sounds to me you did not add the correct path to Matlab?

Make sure Matlab has CSXCAD (Linux only) and openEMS in its search path...

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I have doubled checked the "add path" in the two Octave files and they point to correct folder.

I have checked in Matlab in Search Path and I have openEMS (no sub folders).

In the Tutorial I see there is a step that says

Code: Select all

Then execute:
setup

What I do in this step? Please clarify. Sorry for my beginners question.

Thanks
Stefan

This step is only required for Octave. It adds/compiles an hdf5 interface function which Octave is lacking compared to Matlab...
