Triggering Simulink simulation through GUI does not send data from simulink to workspace.

Triggering Simulink simulation through GUI does not send data from simulink to workspace.

I have a simulate button which i have configured to run a simulink file. However, if i run it through the GUI, the to-workspace blocks dont send data to the workspace. Hence I cannot generate plots based on that data. When i run the simulation through simulink ( by clicking the green play button as usual), data gets sent to the workspace as normal.

Need a solution for this as soon as possible.

command on button click

sim filename;

Hi Amartya,

Does this answer help?

Hi Paul, Thank you for the answer but i figured out another way. I tried the sim command many different ways but that didnt work. so i used the setparam for simulation command to 1... basically triggering the simulation through a parameter change. Worked in this particular situation, however I do not know why this problem would occur in the first place.

got it from here. I'll put it out here for others like me or maybe me in the future and then I'd have a quiet laugh to myself about this... "classic MATLAB ! Am I right?"
