How can the waitbar and the simulink model work simultaneously?

I have the following code in a GUI and I wanted to see the progress of the model, so I added a waitbar as below:

 function pushbutton1_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)

 set_param('Model','SimulationCommand','start'); % starts simulation

 h = waitbar(0,'Please wait...');

 steps = 1000;

 for step = 1:steps

 % computations take place here

 waitbar(step / steps)

 end
 close(h)

When the waitbar runs, the Simulink model pauses. How can I make them run simultaneously?

I will reopen this question. I have the same problem and I don't know how to do it

 StopTime = str2num(get_param('Simulink_Model_Name','StopTime'));   
 wbar = waitbar(0,'Please wait...');

    while strcmp(get_param('Simulink_Model_Name','SimulationStatus'),'running')
       waitbar(get_param('Simulink_Model_Name','SimulationTime')/StopTime);   
       pause(1);
    end
    close(wbar);
