MATLAB: How do you simulate a simulink model through an m-file?

[DM]Frink

Hey guys, can you help me with this. I am looking to get a a simulink model to run in my m-file. I know that if my simulink model is called BusAssignment then to simulate it you would use sim('BusAssignment') but the problem is that the program might not know the name of the simulink model so it needs to retrieve it. I plan on doing this using a GUI with the edit txt box tag called "simulinkname". So how do you get the name typed in the GUI (which is the name of the users simulink model) to simulate?

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Regards,
Conor

Could you use

input('Enter file name to simulate ','s');

It'll ask for it on the matlab command line.



You could also put it in a function, and call it with the name - like this:

function runMySimulation(simFileName)
sim(simFileName);
end

and call the file runMySimulation.m, then try running it like this:

runMySimulation simFileName
