How would it be possible to incorporate metaheuristic m-file code into a simulink model?

Hi,

As a MS.C student of electrical engineering who works with simpowersystem toolbox of matlab/simulink, I know the way a controlling system could be made with Simulink blocks and also I am familiar with creation of m-file codes of nature inspired algorithms.

But my problem is: How should I use a m-file coded metaheuristic algorithm among the blocks of a simulink model?

There have been lots of recommendation on the web, which most of them propose to use "user-defined function" library blocks. Level-2 Matlab S-Function is one of these blocks. But from "Developing S-Function" manual and other corresponding matlab help, it seems the structure of implemented codes in S-Function are different from m-file coding.

I appreciate any help which could guide me through this.

Best Regards, Sahand

Have a look at this paper. It explains how to implement PSO as an s-function. Other metaheuristics use a similar approach. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0038092X12001247
