Matlab code example for writing Sobol sample to joblist.txt

By Navid Delgarm

Notes:

  1. This MATLAB script file will be run in MATLAB version 2014 and above. No using 2013, 2012… please.
  2. The generated joblist.txt file will be saved in Matlab's current working directory. To change the location, please edit line 47.
