Use ChromWorks SMB model for Control Study
Understand how it could work with MS Excel, MATLAB, so on, via COM interface

Interoperability
ChromWorks software is developed under Microsoft .NET framework. It is 100% compatible and interoperable with any other application as long as the 3rd party application is compatible and useable within .NET framework.
ChromWorks SMB simulator is COM-Visible. It means the user can call and execute ChromWorks SMB models from most of Windows applications (e.g. Excel, Word, PowerPoint, MATLAB, etc.)

SMB simulation on Excel
You could use Microsoft Excel (2003, 2007 and 2010) to run ChromWorks SMB simulation model.
The workflow is (1) prepare your own SMB model setup on Excel spreadsheet, (2) execute SMB simulation runs, (3) interpret and visualize the simulation results on Excel spreadsheet and plot.
Simulation inputs and results are dynamically exchangeable at run time between Excel and ChromWorks. If you want to add your inputs into the simulation at run time, yes you can do it whatever you want.
Also you should be able to integrate SMB simulation with other type of additional computation, such as process control or optimization.
Interoperability with Excel offers a perfect environment for various industrial demands in terms of integration with other software or in-house tools.

How to reference SMB model in Excel
First, you need to reference the ChromWorks module. In Microsoft Excel, go to Tools>> References. You could find SMBPharma, check and press OK. You will then be able to run SMB simulation from Excel.

BTW, can we interface Excel with MATLAB? Yes, of course!
MATLAB offers the solution to link with MS Excel:

Recommended Setup for Model Predictive Control Study in SMB
Use Excel as a Host Program (in-direct loose coupling)
Excel to host both
ChromWorks and MATLAB

Another Possible Setup for Model Predictive Control Study in SMB
MATLAB to call SMB model (direct coupling via COM)
There are number of possible solutions available in MATLAB support website:
