How can I add a block to a Simulink model in the center of the model view?

I can add a block to a model using the add_block, but I also want to change the Position parameter of the block to be approximately in the middle of the model. What commands can I use to get the coordinates for the center of the model viewing area?

Hi S. Boopalam,

Once you hav place the vlock using the command add_block, you can change the position of the block using the command set_param. For example:

vdp
set_param('vdp/Fcn','Position',[50 100 110 120])

To check the coordinates for the center of the model, you can place the block in the center an use the command get_param. For example:

get_param('vdp/Fcn','Position')

Hope this can help to solve your question.

You mean to find out where center is, you have to first manually put a block in the model, and then use get_param on the block to see the position, which would be center? What if I want to find center automatically?
