Thanks for the suggestion guys.
But, my problem is, i am able to open CST from Python but other commands
which works in MATLAB don't work in python.
****************MATLAB commands******************
* cst = actxserver('CSTStudio.application') % to open the CST*
* mws=cst.OpenFile('D:\Gowrishankar\PDF\cuboid.cst'); %to open a
particular file*
****************Python commands*************************
*import win32com.client*
*cst = win32com.client.Dispatch("CSTStudio.Application")*
*#Opens a new CST file*
*mws=cst.OpenFile('D:\Gowrishankar\PDF\cuboid.cst');*
* a=20;*
* b=20;*
* c=72;*
* %To store the parameters*
*I was not able to convert these following MATLAB commands into python. I
got errors. *
* mws.invoke('StoreParameter','a',a); %These are the COM interface
commands from MATLAB to CST*
* mws.invoke('StoreParameter','b',b);*
* mws.invoke('StoreParameter','c',c);*
* %To rebuild *
* invoke(mws,'Rebuild');*
* %%Setting only the required boudnary conditions only*
* bound=invoke(mws,'Boundary'); %These are the COM interface
commands from MATLAB to CST*
* bound.invoke('Zmin','magnetic');*
* bound.invoke('Zmax','magnetic');*
* %% Set the frequency range*
* solver=invoke(mws,'Solver');*
* invoke(solver,'FrequencyRange',freMin,freMax);*
* Esolver=invoke(mws,'EigenmodeSolver');*
* invoke(Esolver,'Reset');*
* invoke(Esolver,'SetMeshType','Tetrahedral Mesh');*
* invoke(Esolver,'SetNumberOfModes',noOfMode);*
* invoke(Esolver,'Start'); %Run the solver*
* noOfModesCalculated=invoke(Esolver,'GetNumberOfModesCalculated');*
* for j=1:noOfModesCalculated*
* eigenFreq(j)=invoke(Esolver,'GetModeFrequencyInHz',j);*
* end*
* invoke(mws,'Save'); %Save the file*
* invoke(mws, 'Quit'); %closes the file*
* release(mws); *
* invoke(cst, 'Quit'); % closes the CST application*
* release(cst);*
* dos(['taskkill /F /IM ' '"CST DESIGN ENVIRONMENT.exe"']);*
"I tried different online forums for help and i was unsuccessful in getting
any clue how to move forward. Error messages didn't revealed any
information. I even checked and compared the COM commands used to control
Excel from MATLAB and Python. But, still i am not able to progress any
further. Moreover, the commercial software guys wont help me in doing with
python. Furthermore, i used combrowse.py and make.py to access the
different objects of the interface but they are all hidden for CST. Can
someone suggest me how should i move ahead, are there any examples
available for controlling a windows application through MATLAB and python
so that i can understand the co-relation between the commands between the
two. Any help in this regard is highly appreciated."
