When to Create Custom Blocks

Custom blocks allow you to expand the modeling functionality provided by the Simulink product. By creating a custom block, you can:

Model behaviors for which the Simulink product does not provide a built-in solution.
Build more advanced systems.
Encapsulate systems into a library block that can be copied into multiple models.
Provide custom graphical user interfaces or analysis routines.
