Can't get Simulink to start in Windows

I try to start Simulink using a Windows shortcut. Instead it says:

>> start_simulink

>> matLabroot\bin\win64\matlab.exe -r start_simulink

matLabroot\bin\win64\matlab.exe -r start_simulink

↑

Error: Invalid expression. Check for missing multiplication operator, missing or unbalanced delimiters, or other syntax error. To construct matrices, use

brackets instead of parentheses.

Help!!!

Thanks.

Hi @DJ V,

Have you tried to just type:

simulink

in the MATLAB command window?

Variable names in MATLAB are not allowed to contain the - character. Nor are they allowed to start with a digit. See the documentation for the "isvarname" function for a list of other restrictions.

I Hope this was helpful!
