Test and Debug Simulations

Manage and diagnose simulation errors, set breakpoints, step through simulation time steps and block execution

You can debug and analyze models in Simulink® by stepping through a simulation and viewing signal values throughout the model. You can set breakpoints to pause the simulation at a time of interest and then step the model execution one major time step at a time or one block at a time.

The software provides stepping and debugging utilities in the Simulink Editor and a programmatic interface for debugging in the MATLAB® Command Window.

The Diagnostic Viewer displays diagnostic messages issued by the software as you work in the Simulink Editor, grouped as informational messages, warning messages, and error messages.
