Description

names = matlab.engine.find_matlab() finds all shared MATLAB® sessions on your local machine and returns their names in a tuple.

Identify the shared MATLAB sessions running on your local machine and connect to one of them.

import matlab.engine
names = matlab.engine.find_matlab()
names

('MATLAB_6830', 'MATLAB_7090')

There are two shared MATLAB sessions running, so matlab.engine.find_matlab returns two names in a tuple.

Connect to the first shared MATLAB session.

eng = matlab.engine.connect_matlab('MATLAB_6830')
