Thread Subject: simulink: start and detection of end in matlab?

is there a way to start a simulation of a simulink model without actually pressing CTRL+T or the start button. Also is there a way to detect if simulink is running still.

Im doing some calculations in matlab, sending it to simulink, and then bringing it back to matlab. So is there a way to accomplish this? Im assuming that a detection will not be necessary because the mfile will only continue to execute when the simulink command is finished. I could be wrong tho :)

help sim
