We are using FlexPDE to create a specific thermal modeling simulator. I try to use Java/Matlab to write an interface to interact with FlexPDE, so that other higher level users can input the model parameters in GUI. In Java/Matlab code, I am thinking of creating a FlexPDE script file(PDE file) or modifying an existing PDE file according to user input from GUI. Does anyone know whether this is a feasible way to interact with FlexPDE? Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!! | ||

FlexPDE has frequently been used in this way. Your controller can start FlexPDE with the -Q command-line switch to cause it to run automatically in minimized mode and exit when finished. See "Command-line switches" in the Help Index. | ||

Thanks a lot, Robert. I looked at "script" in the help index, and found that: Descriptor files(.pde files) can also be prepared using any ASCII text editor or any editor capable of exporting a pure ASCII text file. Does this mean I can use Java/Matlab to prepare a pure ASCII text file executable by FlexPDE? Thanks a again | ||

Absolutely. FlexPDE script files are ASCII text files. You can read or write them with any text editor or with any program that can write a text file. Try it yourself. Open one of our sample descriptors with Notepad, Excel, or any other program you want to experiment with. | ||
