Creation of a standalone executable app

Hello all,

I have created an application in Matlab App Designer and now I want to save it as a standlone executable app.

The application is based on Matlab code but it uses Simulink models to run.

Is the creation of a standlone app possible with this structure?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Kind regards,

Panagiotis

You will need to use Simulink Coder (product information page) for that workflow. See the Simulink Coder documentation for more information on how to use this product.

Couldn't i do it via Simulink Compiler?

What I want to achieve is to use the simulink model inside the .exe GUI. I don't want to have a seperate .exe file just for the Simulink model simulation.

Here's a small part of the code I use to compile the Simulink model but I cannot get it to work. Any suggestions?

modelPath = fullfile(ctfroot, 'modellapp.slx');

% Create a SimulationInput object

in = Simulink.SimulationInput(modelPath);

% Set all required variables into the input

in = in.setVariable('Cd', Cd);

%%% MORE VARIABLES HERE

% Simulate

in = simulink.compiler.configureForDeployment(in);

out = sim(in);

Yes, my apologies. I saw "standalone executable" and my mind first jumped to code generation with Simulink Coder, but app deployment with Simulink Compiler ought to be possible as well. I have not used Simulink Compiler myself, but I did see an example in the documentation of creating an App Designer app that calls a Simulink model and deploys that app. I recommend working through that example and adapting it to your application.
