It's certainly possible. The best approach depends mainly on how tightly you need to bind to input and output data and how much of the internals you need to access. Here are a couple of approaches that I've used with OpenDSS:
* Batch mode -- Generate inputs, run OpenDSS (or Gridlab-D), then read the text outputs. * COM interface -- Under windows, you can access OpenDSS via a COM interface. I think the OpenDSS website has examples of doing this from Python and Matlab. It's similar under R. Beyond that, there should be more direct ways to interface to either.
