I need a to open an existing SAP2000 model file through MATLAB using API. The API documentation provides an example for opening an existing file through VBA but I could'nt quite translate it into MATLAB. Any help please?

This should work!
File = NET.explicitCast(SapModel.File,'SAP2000v19.cFile');
File.OpenFile(ModelPath)
Don't try the same VBA syntax as in the documentation for MATLAB. I too found it after some trial and error.

@Jamel Bernadotte Check SAP2000's Help file on API. Try their sample code for MATLAB to cross check if it is working and then modify the code.
