Linear Programming using Simulink

Hi everyone!

I have a simple question:

It is possible to solve linear programming using Simulink?

I know that there is a function to solve L.P in Matlab, but can I use this function in Simulink?

Thank you for your attention!

There is no such a block to do direct LP. However, you can put your MATLAB script in an embedded function block or a MATLAB function block and use that to interface with Simulink. For the later one, notice that you need to use "coder.extrinsic" because "linprog" is not supported for code-generation.
