Block and Blockset Authoring

Create reusable blocks, blocksets, and block masks to extend modeling functionality of Simulink®

Extend the modeling functionality of Simulink by authoring blocks, blocksets, and block masks for reuse.

  • Create Simulink blocks by authoring block algorithms and interfaces to model complex systems and unique block behaviors beyond the standard built-in blocks. Author block algorithms using MATLAB® or C/C++ code within specialized APIs.

  • Create a blockset, which is a user-defined collection of authored or built-in Simulink blocks organized in a Simulink library that enables reuse of blocks for your specific application. Use Blockset Designer for end-to-end management of collaborative blockset authoring, testing, packaging, and distribution.

  • Customize the appearance and interface of Simulink blocks by authoring block masks for your blocks.
