Author Blocks Using S-Function Builder

Use S-Function Builder to author blocks using C/C++ code

S-Function Builder is a Simulink^® tool that implements blocks using C/C++ code. It generates an S-function automatically using the specifications you provide. The S-Function Builder also serves as a wrapper for the generated S-function in the models that use S-function.

Featured Examples

Custom Code and Hand Coded Blocks Using the S-Function API

This library launches examples of different types of Simulink® S-functions. Simulink S-functions allow you to extend Simulink with new hand coded blocks, interface to custom external code, and create live interfaces to other programs. Use this example to access models containing S-functions in C, C++, M, and Fortran®.
