GUI for Simulink as a standalone (load_system is excluded from packaging)

Hello,

I am having a GUI designed with App Designer running and displaying variables from a Simulink Model. I can also adjust variables in the GUI and update them into the simulation.

I use load_system('mysystem') and set_param('mysystem','Simulationcommand','Start') to start the system.

When I try to create a standalone now i get the Warnings

"load_system", "close_system, save_system" are excluded from packaging for the MATLAB Runtime environment according to the MATLAB Compiler license.

Is it not possible to run a simulation in a standalone application?

load_system, close_system and save_system are not supported by MATLAB Compiler as described in this list.

But from R2020a, with Simulink Compiler, you can compile Simulink simulations as a standalone application.

Below is an example.

[Example] Deploying A Simulation App with Simulink Compiler

sim, Simulink.SimulationInput and Simulink.SimulationOutput are supported by Simulink Compiler, so you can create a standalone application with these commands instead of load_system.

Hi Korijo,

I saw this answer of yours and thought you may be answer to my query too. For a standalone app designer app, calling a simulink model, can we have a functionality like this one (List Available CAN Channels) shown in following example?

https://nl.mathworks.com/help/vnt/ug/developing-an-app-designer-app-for-a-simulink-model-using-can.html

In this example, the chosen CAN channel is pushed in the simulink model using set_param command as shown below:

% Push the selected CAN channel into the simulation model CAN Configuration block.

set_param(canConfigPath{1}, 'Device', app.canChannelDeviceSelected);

set_param(canConfigPath{1}, 'DeviceMenu', app.canChannelDeviceSelected);

set_param(canConfigPath{1}, 'ObjConstructor', app.canChannelConstructorSelected);

Is it possible to do the same from a standalone app, which is required to Run on a computer without matlab & simulink installed?
