Hi Praitk,
You cannot simulate a custom Simulink library block directly within the library itself. Library blocks are designed as templates or prototypes and are not standalone entities that can be simulated independently. Attempting to simulate a library alone will result in an error indicating that simulation is not allowed for library block diagrams.
However, you can simulate these blocks by integrating them into a regular Simulink model. Here's how you can do it:
- Integration with Models: Drag the custom library block from your library into a Simulink model. Once added to the model, it becomes a "linked block," maintaining a connection to the library. This linked block can be simulated as part of the model, allowing you to capture the expected results.
- Linked Blocks: When you add blocks from a custom library to a model, the block becomes a linked block. This linked block connects to the library block via a library link. The library block acts as the prototype, while the linked block in the model is an instance of this prototype. The linked block looks and behaves like the library block. If you change the library block, you must update the link on the instances to reflect these changes. Modifying an instance may also require additional steps.
By incorporating your custom library blocks into a model, you can simulate them effectively. This approach allows you to leverage the reusable components provided by your custom library within different models.
For more detailed information on working with custom "Simulink Libraries", refer to the MathWorks documentation:
Hope this helps.
