Hi Marlon, Vittorio and Masoomeh,
Isn't variation in material density just an instance of parameter sweeping?
MATLAB is not just any other numerical code. Its muscle is in interactive data
examination (incl plotting) while having all the variables in memory. The
overhead for batch work and data processing is high -- just do a tic-toc and see
for yourself. Even for things as simple as reading in data from a file, it could
be like touching one's nose via the opposite side of the head. Compare the
tic-toc with Perl.
Technically there is no problem starting FLUKA from MATLAB. Starting is far
easier than stopping! Issue the less-graceful ctrl-c and the more-graceful
ctrl-z + bg? That isn't going to work, right? A shell script would be far
neater.
