You can launch Model Composer directly from the desktop icon, or from the
command line. Double-click the Model Composer icon, launch it from the Start Menu in Windows
operating system, or use the following command from the command
prompt:
xmc_sysgenTip: The command-line use of
Model Composer requires that the command shell has been configured as follows. You must
change directory to <install_dir>/Model_Composer/<version> and run the settings64-Model_Composer.bat (or .sh) file. Where
<install_dir> is the
installation folder and <version> is the specific
version of the tool.
MATLAB opens, and the Model Composer
library and features are overloaded onto this environment. At this point you can click the
Simulink icon from the main toolbar menu, or type
simulink from the MATLAB command prompt:
>> simulinkThe Simulink Start Page is displayed. Model Composer features are loaded onto the platform.
Model Composer supports the latest releases of MATLAB. For more information on Supported MATLAB versions and operating systems, refer to Supported MATLAB Versions and Operating Systems. If you have multiple versions of MATLAB installed on
your system, the first version found in your PATH will be used by Model Composer. You can edit
the PATH to move the preferred version of MATLAB to
precede other versions. You can also direct Model Composer to open a specific version of the
tool using the
-matlab option as
follows:xmc_sysgen -matlab C:\Progra~1\MATLAB\R2018bTip: When you specify the path
to the MATLAB version, do not specify the full path to
the executable (bin/MATLAB). The string "C:\Progra~1\" is a shortcut to "C:\Program Files\" which eliminates spaces from the command path. The
command-line use of Model Composer requires that the command shell has been properly
configured as previously discussed.
