Hello,
We want to open, change variable and run a mathcad sheet from Matlab.
Is that possible and already exist ?.
Thanks

John, you had be surprised. At least in my branch of work, a teacher did a survey, and 7 out of 10 companies used mathcad. Only one used matlab. It depends really. My career is full of calculations with long formulas. Yes, they can be done in matlab, but mathcad offers the visual part, plus you can do simple algoriths if needed. Though, programming in mathcad is a pain compared to matlab. It depends a lot in what you are working at.

If I wanted to get the values of an entire array rather than just a lone integer, how would I do so?

I am having an issue with MATLAB 2020a interfacing with Mathcad prime 7
I tried using your first link but I ran into an issue when trying to open a file
>> h = actxserver('Mathcad.Application')
h =
COM.Mathcad_Application
>> h.invoke
Quit = void Quit(handle, Variant(Optional))
CloseAll = void CloseAll(handle, Variant(Optional))
SetOption = void SetOption(handle, MCAppOption, Variant)
GetOption = Variant GetOption(handle, MCAppOption)
GetStringProperty = ustring GetStringProperty(handle, ustring)
GetIntProperty = int32 GetIntProperty(handle, ustring)
>> h.methods
Methods for class COM.Mathcad_Application:
CloseAll Quit delete interfaces propedit set
GetIntProperty SetOption deleteproperty invoke release
GetOption addproperty events load save
GetStringProperty constructorargs get move send
>> h.worksheet.invoke
Add = handle Add(handle)
Item = handle Item(handle, Variant(Optional))
Open = handle Open(handle, ustring)
Remove = void Remove(handle, Variant)
AddFromTemplate = handle AddFromTemplate(handle, ustring)
>> h.worksheet.methods
Methods for class Interface.CF1EB3FD_6EAB_4D71_8A1B_247F85CD2F66:
Add Open delete get release
AddFromTemplate Remove deleteproperty invoke saveobj
Item addproperty events loadobj set
>> h.worksheet.Open([pwd,'\NewDesignInputs.mcdx'])
Error using Interface.CF1EB3FD_6EAB_4D71_8A1B_247F85CD2F66/Open
Invoke Error, Dispatch Exception:
Description: Failed to open document.
any help would be greatly appreciated

I am not at all certain, but that appears to be asking to perform certain steps within MathCad or MATLAB.
