Advanced MATLAB: Calling Simulink from MATLAB

I normally only have two posts a week, but I needed to throw in this extra post to announce a new blog by my buddy Seth. Seth will be discussing Simulink every week. This week, he is discussing batch simulations of Simulink from MATLAB [Click here]. He goes much deeper into the topic than I do in today’s video.

Please check out his blog [Click here] and be sure to let him know who sent you!

    Hi, enjoyed the blog. Can you call compiled simulink models in a similar manner? I would like to compile simulink models using real-time workshop, but call those models from Matlab GUI….thanks, Ray

    @Ray - Try using the Real-Time Workshop Rapid Simulation Target. You can set parameters, provide inputs and record outputs from your simulation. The interface is through the system command prompt, so your MATLAB code will not use the SIM command. Instead, you call the generated executable directly from your MATLAB GUI. Check out the documentation for running batch mode simulations:

    Good luck!

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
