How to generate .m file from SIMULINK model (.mdl file)?

hi, i have to use a simulink model and a matlab program for my project. but i need to switch between those to continuously and automatically. (without human intervention.).

so, as it is not possible, i want to generate .m file from simulink model, which can exactly replace the .mdl file output so that, i can include that program in my actual program. the viceversa is also acceptable.

In case you are at the beginning of your project, you could try to work MATLAB based and include the (same) code within Simulink, e.g. using Embedded MATLAB.

I you have a Simulink model, I do not know if there is a way to bring the model into MATLAB code, but you could always obtain the results in MATLAB bei using the SIM command.

As Andreas suggested, use the sim command to run a Simulink model from MATLAB. There are a lot of other functions that allow you to interact with Simulink from MATLAB.

Please I have the same challenge. Can someone assist with specific steps to attempt concoverting block models to .m file so that other programs can be integrated onto it. Thanks

There is no automated way to do it.

You can analyze the simulink model and convert it to matlab code manually. After conversion your can verify the equivalence by executing both and comparing result.

You would need to understand what all of the blocks do. Some blocks need multiple MATLAB calls.

Also, Simulink is responsible for making sure that all signal values are mathematically self-consistent under the assumption that all feedback is happening simultaneously with the original signal unless there is a deliberate delay block programmed in. You would need to do those calculations yourself.
