Accessing LIN blocks in Simulink model

How do I get the LIN pack and LIN unpack blocks into my model? I have the Vehicle Network Toolbox (VNT) toolbox with me, I can see the LIN blocks in the documentation but I cannot see it the Simulink Library, Can some please help me out here? Or do I need a seperate license to access them because the documentation doesn't mention anything related to the licenses.

Hi Goutham,

I understand that you are unable to see the 'LIN Pack' and 'LIN Unpack' blocks in the Simulink Library.

The blocks 'LIN Pack' and 'LIN Unpack' require a Simulink Real-Time license.

To check if you have a Simulink Real-Time licence, you can run the following command in MATLAB

license('test', 'Real-Time_Worksho')

You can refer to the below documentation to learn more about the 'license' function:
