Library Browser
Find and add blocks to your model
Description
The Library Browser displays a tree view of the Simulink® libraries on your system. Use the Library Browser to locate blocks and annotations to add to your model.
To navigate the libraries, select libraries from the tree or double-click sublibraries in the right pane. When you select libraries in the tree, the contents of the library appear in the right pane. Sublibraries, blocks, and text and image annotations can appear in the right pane. Pause on any item to see a description. Right-click any item to see options. For example, right-click a block to see options to view block parameters, open help for the block, and add an instance of the block to a model.
When you find the item you are looking for, you can drag it into your model or right-click it and select the option to add it to your model.
