An event is the observation of an instantaneous incident that may change a state variable, an output, and/or the occurrence of other events. When an event occurs, you can create a response by invoking a corresponding action for that event. For example, an entity's entry into a block may invoke an entry action. You can write actions for many events using MATLAB® code or Simulink Function block. Each block for which you can create actions has an Event Actions tab. For more information on events and event actions, see Events and Event Actions.

Learn the basics of events and event actions in SimEvents®.
Event Action Languages and Random Number Generation
Use supported event action languages and randomization methods.
Generate Entities When Events Occur
Use events to determine when to generate an entity.
Write Event Actions for Legacy Models
When migrating legacy SimEvents models, you often must create event actions.
