error opening simulink via Matlab

Hello,

I'm trying to open simulink through Matlab with the following command:

matlabroot\bin\win64\matlab.exe -r start_simulink

but it doesn't open and it gives me error which states:

>> matlabroot\bin\win64\matlab.exe -r start_simulink
 matlabroot\bin\win64\matlab.exe -r start_simulink
                                    ↑
Error: Invalid expression. Check for missing multiplication operator, missing or unbalanced delimiters, or other syntax error.
To construct matrices, use brackets instead of parentheses.

I have the newest version of Matlab & I'm using windows. when I tried to download simulink seperately it said I already have it installed. so I don't understand what could be the problem in opening simulink?

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi Elinor,

Have you tried to just type

simulink

in the MATLAB command window?

I've managed to work it out by opening a simulink model straight from the 'new' botton. thank you!
