Deploy Standalone Applications
R2026bCreate and deploy standalone applications with Simulink® Compiler™ to run simulations on target machines that do not have MATLAB® and Simulink installed.
You can create and deploy standalone applications written in MATLAB code or built in MATLAB App Designer. To run a standalone application, install MATLAB Runtime. For more information, see Download and Install MATLAB Runtime.

Visualize Live Simulation Results in Deployed Applications
Develop, run, and deploy an simulation app that tunes parameters, processes outputs, and visualizes results during simulation. The app simulates a model of the Lorenz system. These two functions define the core functionality of the app:
Generate and Deploy a MATLAB App with SimAppTemplate for a Model
Use the simulink.compiler.genapp function to generate a MATLAB® app for a model, that is deployable. Typically when a Simulink® model is functionally complete, you can use it to run multiple simulations with different input and parameter values. To try simulations for your model with different input and parameter values, you can generate a MATLAB App. You can also deploy this generated app for use outside of MATLAB.
Control a Simulink Simulation with App Designer
Create an interface to control a simulation for a Simulink® model. The app demonstrates connecting UI components to model elements with bindings and callbacks. This example shows how you can use an app as a user interface to load inputs for simulating a model, and save the simulation output.
Deploy Mass Spring Damper App with Live Data
In this example, you use an app with LiveIO functionality, that is prepared in the App Designer. You can then deploy it with Simulink® Compiler™.
Create Standalone Executables with Variants Using Simulink Compiler
Create a standalone executable with a Variant Subsystem using the Simulink® Compiler™ workflow. You can use the same workflow for the Variant Source and Variant Sink blocks as well. Set the Variant activation time of the Variant block to startup. With 'startup' variant activation time, you can change the active variant via an input to the executable.
