This bug has been fixed for Release 14 (R14). For previous releases, please read below for any possible workarounds:

You can do this using the LOAD_SYSTEM command.

For more information, type 'help load_system' at the MATLAB prompt. The documentation is provided below.

LOAD_SYSTEM Invisibly load a Simulink model.

LOAD_SYSTEM('SYS') loads the specified system without making the model window visible. If the specified system is 'built-in', no action is taken.

This bug has been fixed in Release 14 Service Pack 2 (R14SP2). For previous releases, please read below for any possible workarounds:

We have verified that there is a bug in Simulink 6.0 (R14) in the way that LOAD_SYSTEM handles the "simulink.mdl" model. Notice the lower case 's' in the example below.

To work around this issue, try specifying the model name case exactly.

load_system('simulink');

The following example shows how to use the 'shown' parameter to determine a model's visibility:

% Load but do not make visible.
load_system('vdp');
% Query visibility.

get_param('vdp', 'shown') % Displays 'off'.
% Load and make visible.
open_system('vdp');
% Query visibility.
get_param('vdp', 'shown') % Displays 'on'.
