MATLAB: I get message “ANSYS Program has stopped working” when I try to run Ansys by Matlab!

Question

I prepare a matlab code that has to use Ansys somewhere. I tried following lines;

dos('"C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v140\ANSYS\bin\winx64\ansys140.exe" -p ane3fl -dir "C:\..." -b -i "C:\..\input.txt" -o "C:\...\file.out"')
%
!"C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v140\ANSYS\bin\winx64\ansys140.exe" -p ane3fl -dir "C:\..." -b -i "C:\..\input.txt" -o "C:\...\file.out"

This line works properly on command prompt. But in Matlab (R2014b), Ansys stops working immediately.

I even try to write cmd lines as *.bat file and call it to Matlab however it doesn't work.

How can I fix this problem?

Thanks

See ANSYS for the MATLAB AAS Toolbox interface.
