Run Individual Simulations
Run and control individual simulations directly from the Simulink® Editor or programmatically from the MATLAB® command prompt
Simulating a model gives you results of the algorithms that you build through the process of modeling. You can interact with the simulations by pacing the simulation, tuning model parameters, stopping or pausing the simulation, and displaying port values to evaluate the design of your model. Simulations help you understand the design and behavior of your model.
Simulate a model interactively by clicking the Run
button in the Simulink Toolstrip, or programmatically using functions like
sim
and set_param
in the
MATLAB Command Window or a MATLAB script.
For information about running parallel and batch simulations, see Run Multiple Simulations.

Run Basic Simulations
- Simulation Phases in Dynamic Systems
Discover how the Simulink software simulates a dynamic system. - Choosing a Simulation Mode
Based on your simulation needs, choose to run your simulation in normal, accelerator, or rapid accelerator mode. - Simulate a Model Interactively
Start, suspend, and stop a simulation interactively. - Run Simulations Programmatically
Run simulations programmatically by writing scripts or by issuing commands in the MATLAB Command Window. - Use Model Operating Point for Faster Simulation Workflow
Reduce the time required to run a set of simulations by simulating from an initial operating point.
