Insetting the SimMechanics Visualization Window into GUI

I have a Simulink model, and I want have to run in a space in the GUI itself (without other windows opening). Is this possible? If so, how exactly? Right now I just have: actuatedSevenElementFreeBody sim('actuatedSevenElementFreeBody')

Which opens the file, and then runs the simulation, but this opens a new window and all, and doesn't run within the GUI.

If this isn't possible, I am considering creating an .avi of the simulation and then running that via the ActiveX WMP space of my GUI. To do this though, I need to have "Simulation > Store in AVI file" checked by default. How do I force this to be checked when a user runs the simulation?

Thanks.

If you are talking about insetting the SimMechanics Visualization Window into your custom GUI, please update your question to say so. The title "Run Simulink model simulation in GUI" is misleading. Unfortunately, I don't have much experience with SimMechanics, but a better title might catch someone's attention.

If Kausthuba's interpretation of your questions is correct, the answer is NO. The SimMechanics visualization is not compatible with MATLAB GUI.

In the SimMechanics visualization window, there is a save button. This save button should save the settings you configure for the visualization.

Kaustubha is correct, I will update that.

With that said, how can I have "Store in AVI file" by default? Since I can't display the simulation live, I'd like to output it to an avi and then show the avi in the GUI.

Thanks.
