Interactive Model Editing

Create block diagram models using blocks and signal lines

Learn the basics you need to build models and be productive in the Simulink^® editing environment.

Build and Edit a Model Interactively covers the complete modeling process, from starting the software to building the block diagram to simulating and viewing results. Master the tips, tricks, and shortcuts that speed up model building.

Tools

Keyboard Shortcuts and Mouse Actions for Simulink Modeling

Interact with the Simulink Editor using keyboard and mouse actions.

Format a Model

Flip and rotate blocks, change fonts, use color, box and label areas, and hide and display block names.

Bookmark Parts of Model with Viewmarks

Bookmark a view of a model so you can quickly go to that part of the model later.

Describe Models Using Notes and 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.

Manage Files

Create Template from 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.

Create a Project from a Model

Create a project to organize your model and any dependent files. Simulink runs dependency analysis on your model to identify required files and a project root location that contains all dependencies.
