Simulation Basics
You can simulate a model at any time simply by clicking the Start button
on the Model Editor displaying the model (see Starting a Simulation). However,
before starting the simulation, you might want to specify various
simulation options, such as the simulation's start and stop time and
the type of solver used to solve the model at each simulation time
step. Specifying simulation options is called "configuring
the model". With the Simulink software you can create
multiple model configurations, called configuration sets, modify existing
configuration sets, and switch configuration sets with a click of
a mouse button (see Setting Up Configuration Sets for information on creating and selecting
configuration sets).
Once you have defined or selected a model configuration set
that meets your needs, you can start the simulation. The simulation
runs from the specified start time to the specified stop time. While
the simulation is running, you can interact with the simulation in
various ways, stop or pause the simulation (see Pausing or Stopping a Simulation),
and launch simulations of other models. If an error occurs during
a simulation, Simulink halts the simulation and a diagnostic viewer
pops up that helps you to determine the cause of the error.
