OrcaFlex versions 9.1 and later are fully compatible with Vista and can be installed directly without requiring any of these updates.

		MATLAB interface with OrcaFlex The MATLAB OrcaFlex interface provides access to the OrcaFlex programming interface from within the MATLAB environment. Please refer to the documentation and in particular the installation topic. The MATLAB OrcaFlex interface can be downloaded here: MATLAB-OrcaFlex.zip (56 KB). Please note that since OrcaFlex is a 32 bit program you must use the 32 bit version of MATLAB, even on a 64 bit machine.

		External Function examples OrcaFlex includes a facility to specify data in a user-defined function which we refer to as External Functions. The feature is documented in the OrcaFlex and OrcFxAPI help files. Some example external functions are supplied on the OrcaFlex CD.
