To build Simulink models, use the Simulink start page, the Simulink Editor, and the Library Browser.
Use the Simulink Start Page to select a model template, open recent models, and find examples.
Use the Simulink Editor and the Library Browser to create models and set model properties.
Keyboard and Mouse Actions for Simulink Modeling
Interact with the Simulink Editor using keyboard commands and mouse actions.
Build and Edit a Model in the Simulink Editor
Assemble models using the Simulink Editor, and learn editing tips and tricks.
Adjust Visual Presentation to Improve Model Readability
Flip and rotate blocks, change fonts, use color, box and label areas, and hide and display block names.
Find Model Elements in Simulink Models
Use different approaches to locate model elements, based on model complexity and goals.
Update Diagram and Run Simulation
Updating the diagram provides the simulation with the results of the latest changes that you have made to a model.
Search and Edit Using Model Explorer
Describes Model Explorer controls to find and modify model elements and customize views.
Customize Model Explorer Views
How to use standard or customize views in Model Explorer.
Use Viewmarks to Save Views of Models
Bookmark a view of a model so you can quickly go to that part of the model later.
Add or Read Notes for Model Layers
Describe models with text or website content for each system.
Describe Models Using Annotations
To help others to understand a model, add visual elements, such as descriptive text, images, or buttons that perform an action such as open a link.
By converting an annotation to markup, you can control whether to hide or display it.
Associate a callback with an annotation for when you load, delete, or click an annotation.
TeX for Simulink Model Annotations
These TeX commands are supported in annotations.
Simulink Preferences General Pane
Parameters for controlling window reuse, file change and old version notifications, autosave, and callback tracing.
Simulink Preferences Editor Pane
Parameters for controlling the Simulink Editor
Save models, specify valid model names, file format, and character encoding. Export to different versions of Simulink.
Create a Template from a Model
Create a template to reuse customized settings in new models, including configuration settings, blocks, and visual presentation.
Manage Model Versions and Specify Model Properties
View and edit model version information, history, callback functions, and the model description.
You can print a model diagram interactively or programmatically using many options to customize your printing job.
A model report is an HTML document that describes the structure and content of a model.
Find required files for a single model, create manifests and reports, programmatically check for file and toolbox dependencies, and package required files.
