I have created a live script that calls a simulink model. The live script calls the simulink model just fine and it runs well, but I want to include the simulink model inside the live script. Is this possible? Thanks and have a great day!

I went ahead and wrote a simple function that does this for you. It requires Simulink Report Generator and R2017b. I put in an enhancement request to make this easier as well.
function snapshotModel(model)
open_system(model)
import slreportgen.report.*
r = Report(tempname, 'html');
D = Diagram(model);
D.SnapshotFormat = 'png';
add(r, D);
imshow(imread(char(D.Snapshot.Image)));
close(r);
delete(r.OutputPath);
end
From the live script, call:
snapshotModel('vdp')

I assume you'd like to automatically include a snapshot of the block diagram like you would do with the Simulink Report Generator right?
Since that can generate the image it should be possible to grab that image and imshow it. There may be a more elegant way though.

This thew an error under R2020b with the cast of D.Snapshot.Image to char. I fixed it by rewritting the imshow line as:
imshow(imread(D.Snapshot.Image.Content.Path));

I really appreciate your codes. They are handy and helpful for many times in my homework. Have you considered creating a separate function and publishing it to the Community? I believe it can help many others like me a lot.
