Simulink Desktop Real-Time™ provides a real-time kernel for executing Simulink® models on a laptop or desktop running Windows® or macOS®. It includes library blocks that connect to certain I/O devices. You can create a real-time system in Simulink with your PC or Mac computer and connect it to physical devices.
Refer to Simulink Real-Time™ for high performance real-time simulation and testing with Speedgoat™ target computer hardware.
Real-time closed-loop simulation of Simulink models
Simulink Desktop Real-Time includes a real-time kernel that runs at the highest priority on your operating system. This real-time kernel loads I/O device drivers and establishes a connection with Simulink. The I/O device drivers execute in real time, in parallel with a Simulink simulation in normal mode.
