Stateflow

Starting a Build

You can start a target build in the following ways:

• By selecting Start from the Stateflow or Simulink editor's Simulation menu or Debug from the Stateflow editor's Tools menu.

This option lets you use a single command to build and run a simulation target. Use the next option if you want to build a simulation target without running it. You would typically want to do this to ensure that Stateflow can build a target containing custom code.

• By selecting the Build or Build RTW (for RTW targets) button on the Target Builder dialog box for the target

You must use this option to build stand-alone targets. You can also use this option to build simulation targets and RTW targets. Using the target builder to launch the build allows you to choose between full build, incremental build, and code generation only options. See Starting from a Target Builder Dialog Box for more information.

• By selecting the Build button on the RTW panel of Simulink's Simulation Parameters dialog box (for RTW targets)

While building a target, Stateflow displays a stream of progress messages in the MATLAB command window. You can determine the success or failure of the build by examining these messages (see Parsing).
