Describe the methods of the class COM.Apwn_Document in more detail

Aspen = actxserver('Apwn.Document.38.0'); 

Execution of script actxserver as a function is not supported:
/MATLAB/toolbox/matlab/winfun/actxserver.m

[~,address] = fileattrib; 
SimulationName = 'SimulationName';% Aspeen Plus Simulation Name
Application.invoke('InitFromArchive2',[address.Name '\' SimulationName '.bkp']);
Aspen.Visible = 1;
Aspen.SuppressDialogs = 1;
Aspen.Engine.Run2(1); % Run the simulation

When running this code, it shows that Aspen is a class COM.Apwn_Document. So what's the detailed meaning of its functions and properties? Thanks.

Hi @C,

Running actxserver returns a COM object with specific properties, methods, events, and interfaces. The methods of the object can be inspected using the following approach:

Aspen = actxserver('Apwn.Document.38.0'); 
methodsview(Aspen);

This command should list information about all the methods associated with that object. This is a recognized workflow, and more information about the workflow can be found here:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_external/exploring-your-object.html#brd2duw-1

To learn more about methodsview, refer to the following documentation:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/methodsview.html

Hope this helps figure out the methods of the COM Object.

Thank you. I can get a new window, and it lists all methods of name, return type, input parameter and Inheritance. But another question is I dont know what function is used for

[Walter Roberson]

You would have to contact the Aspen documentation for that; that information is not available in the Mathworks documentation.

thank you
