Steps from Mupad to custom Matlab M function

Here are the steps involved to create an M function from a Mupad session:

(This uses calculating the basis used in futures trading of Cash Price – Future Price)

>> notebook_handle = mupad;
>> basis = getVar(notebook_handle,’basis’)    <–note: do keep Mupad open in order for this to work!!

basis =

FC – FP

>> h = matlabFunction(S)
Undefined function or variable ‘S’.

>> h = matlabFunction(basis)

h =

@(FC,FP)FC-FP

>> basis = matlabFunction(basis,’file’, ‘basis.m’);

Here is the resulting M function basis.m:

function basis = basis(FC,FP)
%BASIS
% BASIS = BASIS(FC,FP)

% This function was generated by the Symbolic Math Toolbox version 6.2.
