Interactive Model Editing - MATLAB & Simulink (original) (raw)
Create, format, navigate, and search Simulink models
Learn how to build and edit models in the Simulink® editing environment. Discover techniques, tips, and shortcuts you can use to work in Simulink.
For an introduction to Simulink, try the self-paced, interactive Simulink Onramp course and Get Started with Simulink.
For information about how to run a model and view the results, see Simulation. For information about how to share, reuse, standardize, print, and protect the confidentiality of model content, see Collaborative Model Editing.
You can also create, edit, and test models programmatically. To learn more, see Programmatic Model Editing.

Topics
Create Models
- Open Models
Create new Simulink models and open existing models. - Save Models
Save Simulink models. - Add Blocks to Models
Use the Library Browser and quick insert menu to insert blocks. - Connect Blocks
Use signal lines and bind mode to connect blocks. - Edit Block Parameters
Set block parameter values using the Block Parameters dialog box and Property Inspector.
Format Models
- Configure Model Layout
Change the arrangement, orientation, and size of blocks. - Group Blocks into Subsystems
Use subsystems to organize large models. - Group Signals or Messages into Virtual Buses
Create buses to reduce the number of lines in a block diagram. - Configure Model Element Names and Labels
Hide and display block names, label signal lines, change text font and color. - Annotate Models
Use text, hyperlinks, equations, images, and tables to label sections of a model. - Configure Model Style Elements
Change model fonts and colors. - Customize Block Icons
Use Masks to give blocks custom covers. - Visually Organize Models Using Area Annotations
Use areas and images to visually compartmentalize the model.
Navigate Models
