How can we use methods in simulink?

How can we use methods in simulink? Is there a way other than matlab function block to use m-files in simulink? or to call m files in simulink?

Hi @Milad Bahaedini,

I understand from your query that it is required to run m-files in a simulink model without using the "MATLAB Function" block. This can be done by using the "Callbacks". Here the steps to use "InitFcn" callback is mentioned, assuming that the ".m" file needs to be executed during the update phase before block parameters are evaluated. This can be done by following the below-mentioned steps.

• Open the simulink model and go to its "Model Properties".
• Go to the "Callbacks" tab and select "InitFcn" from "Model callbacks".
• Write the name of the ".m" file to be executed.
• Save and restart the model.

Further details about the different callbacks can be found in the below-mentioned MATLAB documentation.

Hope this helps in answering your query.
