I'm trying to call a .exe file (Matlab routine) after a modal solution in an Ansys MAPDL script. Is there an APDL command for this?

You can use system and call any .exe file.

Please see the Mechanical APDL help on the /SYS and /SYP commands. /SYS allows us to pass a command string to the OS for execution. Normally I've only used this to do simple things like copy a file, or get a listing of files (for troubleshooting). I don't have access to Matlab. I did test sending:

/sys, python a.py

From MAPDL interactive where a.py was just print hello then quit. And that worked.
