How can I solve a system of 27 differential equations? in fact the equations are related to each other and I want t solve it in parameteric way. it means all the constants and variables in my equations are unknown. so i can not use ODE45 for example. regards

I give you an example to solve a system of 2 differential equations:
syms f(t) g(t) % one for every function
S = dsolve(diff(f) == 3*f + 4*g, diff(g) == -4*f + 3*g)
The functions can be extracted using:
S.f, S.g

Thanks I know how to use dsolve and syms. But actually the problem is large number of parameters in my question and it will take long hours too solve it. Is there a way to solve this large system of equations appropriately and in short time? regards

With undefined parameters you have to use symbolic methods, and you are right, it takes time.
The only advice i can give you is trying to reduce your system to smaller problems than can be solved in 'finite' time.
Maybe combining some functions in just one or something ( can´t say without watching the equations), but I`m sure you tried that.
