Simulating a model gives you results of the algorithms that you build through the process of modeling. You can interact with the simulations by pacing the simulation, tuning model parameters, stopping or pausing the simulation, and displaying port values to evaluate the design of your model. Simulations help you understand the design and behavior of your model.
Simulate a model by clicking the Run button on the
Simulink Editor, or entering simulation commands, for example,
sim and set_param in the
MATLAB Command Window or a MATLAB file.
To learn about multiple simulations, see Run Multiple Simulations.
set_param | Set system and block parameter values |

Simulink.BlockDiagram.getInitialState | Return initial state data of block diagram |
Simulink.SimulationInput | Creates SimulationInput objects to make changes to a model for
multiple or individual simulations |
Simulink.SimulationOutput | Access simulation results |
Simulink.SimulationMetadata | Access metadata of simulation runs |
Simulink.op.ModelOperatingPoint | Access simulation operating point data |
