Combining a function and solver to create a M-function in Simulink

If I have the following function and solver script:

The function is:

function dydt = odefcn(t,y,A,B)
dydt = zeros(2,1);
dydt(1) = y(2);
dydt(2) = (A/B)*t.*y(1);

The solver script:

A = 1;
B = 2;
tspan = [0 5];
y0 = [0 0.01];
[t,y] = ode45(@(t,y) odefcn(t,y,A,B), tspan, y0);

How can I combine both to create a "MATLAB function" block in Simulink that takes A and B as input, and outputs y?

Thanks a lot!

For the benefit of those who may have the same question, you cannot use a MATLAB function, but you can use S-Function.

Simulink is the perfect tool to solve this problem (get y output based on input A and B). Why take the awkward long route? In fact, I don't think it is even possilbe if it is required to solve it with a MATLAB Function block in Simulink.

Thanks, Fangjun, for your answer.

The thing is that I have a much more complicated functions that's already written as a MATLAB function, and re-creating the function in Simulink from scratch will require signifcant time.

So, I wanted to know how can I solve this kind of problem on Simulink with the functions that I already have.

[Fangjun Jiang]

When a MATLAB Function block is simulated in a Simulink model, it runs at every time step. Yet you need to solve a problem that is time related. At time t=1, the MATLAB Function block won't know or have access to info/value at time=5. That is why I think it is impossible.

Thanks a lot Fangjun. That makes sense
