Call MATLAB from Fortran

Write Fortran programs that work with MATLAB

Engine applications are standalone programs that allow you to call MATLAB® from your own Fortran programs, using MATLAB as a computation engine. To build an engine application, call the mex function.

Engine applications require an installed version of MATLAB; you cannot run the MATLAB engine on a machine that only has the MATLAB Runtime.
