[Radiance-general] Just discovered

[John]

Hello,

My name is John and I am trying to get automatic communication between Radiance 
and other programs for my thesis.
I just discovered this group.
These archives look very useful.  Hopefully I have not been wasting my time 
working on something 
that the people here have completed already.

Has anybody figured out, for example,
how to incorporate radiance simulations into loops running in other programs?  
such as rhino, autocad, or even matlab?
