AFPoly is started from the MATLAB Command Window by typing afpoly. If there is an output argument, the handle to the application figure is returned. AFPoly can also be launched with any combination of the following optional input arguments: FRF dataset (imat_fn), coordinate traces (imat_ctraceor cell of imat_ctraces), test display model (structure), test-analysis model (imat_fem), and FEM shapes (imat_shp).
More than one instance of AFPoly can be running concurrently. The number of copies running at any one time is only limited by the available IMAT licenses and the memory and other resources of the computer.
