Starting Simulink Software

To start the Simulink software, you must first start the MATLAB^® technical computing environment. Consult your MATLAB documentation for more information. You can then start the Simulink software in two ways:

• On the toolbar, click the Simulink icon.

• Enter the simulink command at the MATLAB prompt.

The Library Browser appears. It displays a tree-structured view of the Simulink block libraries installed on your system. You build models by copying blocks from the Library Browser into a model window (see Editing Blocks).

The Simulink library window displays icons representing the pre-installed block libraries. You can create models by copying blocks from the library into a model window.

Note   On computers running the Windows® operating system, you can display the Simulink library window by right-clicking the Simulink node in the Library Browser window.
