Standalone executable GUI calling Simulink

Hi, I am attempting to make a standalone executable GUI which calls a Simulink model. I found an appropriate method listed on:

http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/en/data/1-27DUK5/

Using the above link, I am able to create the exe file but am unable to run it without MATLAB. Do I need to do any more things so as to run the executable on a system without MATLAB?

Thanks for your time.

hey. i am also having same problem with creating 'Standalone executable GUI calling Simulink' did you solved it ,can you please reply me how to create it in step by step comments please

thank you

hello

whats the solution?

@mohammadreza j

You would need the relatively new Simulink Compiler product (R2020a and newer)

[mohammadreza j]

i have R2020a but i still have the problem calling simulink model from standalone gui

i use sim() to call simulink model, it works fine in matlab but it doesnt work as .exe. what should i do?

[Walter Roberson]

You cannot call sim() from an executable if I understand correctly...though I have not read the documents for Simulink Compiler.

[mohammadreza j]

so what i suppose to use, do you know?

[Walter Roberson]

Checking further, you can call sim() from within MATLAB -- but you need to use the product "Simulink Compiler",

The post at https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/1605740-matlab-compiler-matlabruntimeforpython-dot-indexing-is-not-supported-for-variables-of-this-type hints that you would get a Simulink.standalone_sim error if you tried to use MATLAB Compiler.

You would need to install the MCR on machines without MATLAB (MCR: Matlab Runtime)

The MCR is avalable with the MATLAB Compiler product.

Thanks for your answer. So can I package the MCR by using deploytool just as I package it for the m-file based GUIs?

Anubhav

[Chirag Gupta]

Yes! MCR can be packaged with deploytool

[ANUBHAV SINHA]

I just now tried doing it through the deploytool but it is not working. Please note that in the link I posted above, the GUI is calling a calling a Simulink exe (and not an mfile). http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/en/data/1-27DUK5/

Finally, when I use deploytool--->set the GUI mfile as the main function---> but all ctf, exe,mdl etc files in the Other Files tab---> put all C files in 'C Files tab'---> then on Build, the generated exe doesnt work even while testing( and ofcourse doesnt work after packaging too)!!

hi, can you write some steps for making .exe file of simulink model? i use sim command in .m file to simulate simulink model and then make .exe file.but expected result is not coming. so,please write one example or some steps for making standalone file from simulink model.. i am using matlab r2010a-32 bit,windows-7 64 bit

thank you in advance.

Here is a good answer to your question http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/97161-how-can-i-create-a-deployable-standalone-executable-from-a-matlab-application-that-calls-a-simulink

[Darin McCoy]

....now the link doesn't work??? that's pretty fishy..
