How do I update my Simulink model from the MATLAB command line?

I want to force an update (ctrl + D) on my Simulink model using a prompt from the command line.

I would also like to generally know more about the command line functionality of Simulink.

In the MATLAB command window, type the following:

set_param(gcs,'SimulationCommand','Update')

This is the same as forcing an update (Ctrl + D) from the Simulink window.
