Get simulation status of simulink model with event listener

Hi,

I am trying to get the current simulation status of my simulink model (initializing,running,paused etc.) by using an event listener. I need this because the model takes a long time to start, and I want to show the current status in my GUI. But I dont have a clue, how to set the "blk" parameter, because I want to access the model itself, not a block within the model. So, the following doesnt work:

    blk = 'model'; 
    event = 'PostOutputs'; 
    listener = @sim_status;
    EventListener = add_exec_event_listener(blk, event, listener);

Does anyone know, how to solve this? Thanks.

You can Model Callback functions to capture the simulation status.

Some simulation related callback functions are:

• InitFcn
• StartFcn
• PauseFcn
• ContinueFcn
• StopFcn

Also you can read simulation status of a model using below command anytime. It will return string — {'stopped'} | 'updating' | 'initializing' | 'running' | 'paused' | 'terminating' | 'external'

get_param('myModel', 'SimulationStatus')

Hey Thanks you Tabrez, This is exactly what I did. I was using them for other purposes, but added one more line of code to findobject on GUI and update the status string in it. But thank you once again Tabrez.
