Interacting with a Simulink Model from a Matlab Script

This video illustrates how to control and interact with a Simulink model from a Matlab script. This is useful if you would like to analyze data generated from a Simulink model in the Matlab environment. Some topics we cover in this video include but are not limited to:

1. Defining model parameters from a Matlab script
2. Sending data generated by a Simulink model back to Matlab
3. Using data from Matlab as inputs to a Simulink model

[UPDATE]
This video uses Matlab R2016b. The techniques demonstrated in this video for saving data from the Simulink model have changed in newer versions of Matlab. If you run into issues extracting data, try modifying the code as shown below

out = sim('PendulumModel.slx');
logsout = out.logsout;
simX = out.simX;
yout = out.yout;
