MATLAB: Open Simulink model using Matlab engine for python

MATLABpython

Installed matlab engine for python as mentioned
https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_external/connect-python-to-running-matlab-session.html
below command in python terminal gave me error
>>> import matlab.engine
>>> eng = matlab.engine.connect_matlab()
>>> eng.sqrt(4.0)
2.0
>>> eng.open_system('fcc_to_icd1.slx')
Too many output arguments
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in module File "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\matlab\engine\matlabengine.py", line 78, in _call_ stderr, feval=True).result() File "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\matlab\engine\futureresult.py", line 68, in result return self._future.result(timeout) File "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\matlab\engine\fevalfuture.py", line 82, in result self._result = pythonengine.getFEvalResult(self._future,self._nargout, None, out=self._out, err=self._err) matlab.engine.MatlabExecutionError: Too many output arguments
is there a way to open simulink models using python matlab engine ?

Hi,
make and save a .m-file in your matlab folder containing the following line:
open_system('name of your file')
then call this script from python with:
import matlab.engine
eng = matlab.engine.connect_matlab()
eng.your_script_name(nargout=0)
This should call the script which then calls simulink to open your model.
Best regards
