MATLAB's Fuzzy Logic Toolbox stores fuzzy systems in .fis files. You may need to convert between different formats or versions for compatibility, sharing, or deployment.
| Goal | Method | Code/Example |
|---|---|---|
| Load old .fis file (any version) | readfis() – works with all legacy and current .fis files | fis = readfis('mycontroller.fis'); |
| Save current FIS to .fis file | writefis() (older) or savefis() (recommended) | savefis(fis, 'newcontroller'); |
| Convert between FIS types (e.g., Mamdani ↔ Sugeno) | Use convertfis() (R2020a+) or manual conversion | fis2 = convertToSugeno(fis1); fis2 = convertToType1(fis1); (for Type-2 → Type-1) |
| Export to FIS v2.0 format (most compatible) | Always save with current MATLAB version → automatically uses latest format | savefis(fis, 'myfis_v2'); |
| Import from text description (e.g., .fis text format) | readfis() works directly on text .fis files | fis = readfis('controller.txt'); |
| Convert FIS to code (C, Simulink, etc.) | genfis() + code generation tools or evalfis() for simulation | Use Fuzzy Logic Designer → Export → To Workspace then Simulink block |
| Deploy to standalone / embedded | Export as C code via MATLAB Coder or Simulink Coder | Requires MATLAB Coder + Embedded Coder |
| Open in newer MATLAB version | Just use readfis() — backward compatible since R2017a | No extra steps needed |
% Load any old .fis and resave as current version fis = readfis('old_controller.fis'); savefis(fis, 'modern_controller'); % creates modern_controller.fis % Convert Mamdani to Sugeno (zero-order or first-order) fis_sugeno = convertToSugeno(fis); % R2020a and later fis = mamfis('Name','obstacle_avoidance'); fis = addInput(fis,[0 10],'Name','distance'); fis = addMF(fis,'distance','trimf',[0 2 5],'Name','close'); % ... then save savefis(fis,'obstacle_avoidance') “I got full marks on my MATLAB assignment! The solution was perfect and delivered well before the deadline. Highly recommended!”
“Quick delivery and excellent communication. The team really understood the problem and provided a great solution. Will use again.”
