activex error with FEMM inside wine on a Mac

I try to establish a communication between Matlab and FEMM with
HandleToFEMM=actxserver('femm.ActiveFEMM');
but I get the following error:
Error using actxserver (line 90)
Server creation failed. Invalid ProgID 'femm.ActiveFEMM'.
What do I do wrong?
I have Matlab R2016b, Wine-1.9.23 (Staging) and FEMM 4.2 on a MacBookPro running macOS Sierra (10.12.1).
Thanks for your help in advance.

The documentation link on actxserver suggests that it needs COM communication that is available on Windows systems only. The FEMM 4.2 works fine with MATLAB on Windows.

Omar Ismail, is MATLAB running in OS-X itself, or are you running the Windows version of MATLAB inside of Wine?
In order to use activexserver you would need to be running the Windows version of MATLAB. The Linux and OS-X versions of MATLAB do not have activex capabilities compiled in.
