S-Functions
An S-function is a computer language description of a Simulink® block written in MATLAB®, C, C++, or Fortran. You can develop an S-function to represent external code using an API that interacts with the Simulink engine. Use this S-function with the code generator to produce code. Start with S-Functions and Code Generation.

Topics
Write S-Functions
S-Functions and Code Generation
Use S-functions to extend Simulink support for simulation and code generation.
Build Integrated Code Within the Simulink Environment
Add support files and control model code generation and builds within the Simulink Environment.
Implement your algorithm according to the S-function API by writing a C or C++ MEX S-function.
Write Wrapper S-Function and TLC Files
Create S-functions that serve as wrappers for existing code.
Write Fully Inlined S-Functions
Inline your algorithm in the TLC file for code generation.
- S-Functions That Support Expression Folding
- S-Functions That Specify Port Scope and Reusability
- S-Functions That Specify Sample Time Inheritance Rules
- S-Functions That Support Code Reuse
Write Fully Inlined S-Functions with mdlRTW Routine
Use the mdlRTW callback method in an inlined
S-function.
Accelerate Simulation, Reuse Code, or Protect Intellectual Property by Using S-Function Target
Generate a shared library from a model or subsystem that you can load dynamically into another application.
Legacy Code Tool
Import Calls to External Code into Generated Code with Legacy Code Tool
