This should work!

File = NET.explicitCast(SapModel.File,'SAP2000v19.cFile');

File.OpenFile(ModelPath)

Don't try the same VBA syntax as in the documentation for MATLAB. I too found it after some trial and error.

@Jamel Bernadotte Check SAP2000's Help file on API. Try their sample code for MATLAB to cross check if it is working and then modify the code.
