I was hoping to read and write variables from the Matlab workspace. Can I do it? If so, how?

VisSim provides Matlab read, write and function call blocks. These blocks allow reading and writing to the Matlab workspace. Normally the Matlab blocks are installed if the VisSim install detects a prior Matlab installation. If this is not the case, then

1. Download vsmML.DLL to your computer
2. Copy vsmML.dll to the DLL directory of your MatLab installation
   • This is the directory that contains the libeng.dll and libmx.dll. In older installations they are in the same dir as matlab.exe (/bin). In new installations it is /bin/win32 or /bin/win64.
3. In VisSim, go to Edit > Preferences > Addons and add the path to the DLL that you copied in 2. to the addon list.
