Beginner: MatLab to Scilab

moedimani · 04-04-2016, 11:03 AM

Hello,

I am an absolute beginner in Matlab/Scilab. I received a one-page script for MatLab which I have to transfer to Scilab (Matlab is just too expensive...).

Unfortunately, I have to admit that I have absolutely no idea how to do that.
I looked at the various converter-programmes but it didn't help at all.

It is a little programm (30 lines including descriptions) to calculate the cooling curves of copper alloys, which I urgently need.

Any help very very much apprecciated!!!
Thanks a lot!

have you looked at Octave ?
it runs most matlab "m " files
but there is NO binary mex support

octave should be in most if not all OS repos

Code:

apt-get install octave 
--- or ---
yum install octave 
--- or ---
dnf install octave 
--- or ---
zypper in octave 
-- and so on ...

I did, thank you - but it leaves me similar helpless, never did any programming before.
I was hoping to find a kind of "dictionary" for the translation of the different orders for each programm, but that's probably quite naiv
