Hello,
MATLAB function or User defined function allows you to write your own function in MATLAB language. This is basically used in Simulink where using inbuilt blocks complicates the model. S function block on the other hand allows you to integrate an executable version of your code in other high level programming languages line C,C++,Digital FORTRAN etc into simulink. You need to have a compiler for respective language. For example the MING compiler works perfectly for integrating Fortan code into Simulink.
