how to trasfer workspace values to another pc?

Basically I've made a real-time simulation and I want to transfer six values from my workspace to another pc, through packet output/input or some other udp block. Im supposed to input the values into my pc and then tranfer and run the simulation on the other pc, but I cant get my values to the other pc.

There are many ways of doing this... however a common way is using MAT Files.

a = rand(10);
b = rand(12);
save myMat a b
clear all
load myMat

Save MAT file

Advantages of MAT Files: - this will work across platforms - can be optimised - one can compare mat files without loading them (great for version control) - one can store multiple variables and load only some of them - work across releases, and architectures - There is an open API via C to read/write them

Disadvantages: - they are not aimed for real-time applications

Other ideas (depending on what you are looking for): - UDP streaming - System Objects - CAN messages (see Vehicle Network Toolbox) - Reading/Writting to Databases (See Database Toolbox) - TCP/IP (see Instrument Control Toolbox) - Create Socket in MATLAB - Create COM Ports - Add your own library into MATLAB via C Mex

If you are looking for more ideas I would recommend reaching out to the Helpdesk of the MathWorks, as this may depend strong on your requirements.

more like UDP streaming, cause I just want to enter the variables into pc1 and transfer them to pc2 in real time. The simulation starts on pc1 and continues with those variables on pc2.

Do the computers have a shared network folder? Write them with one computer, read with the other?

No they dont, It working over the internet. Enter the values into the firsts pc and start the simulation then transfer them to the other pc-s workspace and view the results
