How do I pass simulink start and stop times to simulink from a .m file called by appdesigner created GUI.

I have a .m file which I am running that launches a simulink model using _

tstart = 0.096; 
tend = 0.011;
sim('mySimulinkModel')_

and using simulation model configuration dialog box in simulink to define simulation Start time and simulation Stop time to 'tstart' and 'tend' respecctively.

Can I pass the start and stop times parametrically using something like:

sim('mySimulinkModel','tstart','0.096','tend','0.011')

Yes. StartTime and StopTime are the Model Parameters that you can set from the command line. The full list of model parameters can be found at https://uk.mathworks.com/help/simulink/slref/model-parameters.html

set_param('mymodel','StartTime','5','StopTime','100')

Thanks David, Perfect answer

One additional answer. If you plan to use tstart and tend parametric, then this works:

tstart = "0.096"; 
tend = "0.011";
sim('mySimulinkModel','StartTime',tstart,'StopTime',tend)
