Writing S-Functions

Chapter 1
Overview of S-Functions
S-functions (system-functions) provide a powerful mechanism for extending the capabilities of
Simulink. The following sections explain what an S-function is and when and why you might use
one and how to write your own S-functions.

What Is an S-Function? Brief overview of S-functions.

Using S-Functions in How to insert S-functions as blocks in a model and pass parameters to
Models them.
How S-Functions Work How Simulink invokes S-functions when simulating a model that
includes them.
Implementing How to write S-functions.
