Start Simulink without opening any windows

Syntax

start_simulink

Description

start_simulink starts Simulink® without opening any models, the Start Page, or the Simulink Library Browser. Use this in startup scripts to start Simulink without any other window taking the focus away from the MATLAB® Desktop.

For example, use start_simulink in the MATLAB startup.m file, when starting MATLAB with the -r command line option, or in project startup scripts. Opening a model for the first time in a MATLAB session is much quicker after running start_simulink.

If you want to open the Simulink Start Page to create or open models, use the simulink function instead.

If you want to open the Library Browser, use the slLibraryBrowser function.
