Hi @Sabereh,

I assume you want to open a Simulink model using MATLAB App Designer and build the standalone executable file from the opened model. To do so, you may utilize callbacks in App Designer using the following steps:

1. In the App Designer, use an “Edit Field (Text)” component for entering the Simulink model name.
2. Use a “Button” component for opening and building the Simulink model.
3. You may implement a callback similar to the following to open and build the Simulink model.

function OpenandBuildSimulinkModelButtonPushed(app, event)
    modelName = app.EditField.Value; 

    try
        % Open the Simulink model
        open_system(modelName);
        
        % Build the Simulink model
        slbuild(modelName);
        
        % Display a message on successful build
        uialert(app.UIFigure, 'Model build successful!', 'Success');
    catch ME
        % Display an error message if the model cannot be opened or built
        uialert(app.UIFigure, ['Error: ' ME.message], 'Build Error');
    end
end
