SySim user interface (SySim)
SySim allows you to perform the following tasks:
• Generate the Visual Studio project for the SySim Simulation Scenario
• Build the SySim model execution application from the generated Visual Studio project.
• Optionally build and open the Simulink shell model.
• Start the SySim model execution application.
The Make Model Executable And Run button generates the Visual Basic Project, builds the SySim Model Execution application and starts the SySim Model Execution application. Alternatively, there are individual buttons to generate Visual Basic Project, build the SySim Model Execution application, and start the SySim Model Execution application.
To start SySim: in Modeler, right-click the SySim Simulation Scenario item for which you want to generate a SySim model execution, point to SySim, and click SySim.
To see the entire SySim user interface, you must click the 
More Options button.
More Options button.For procedural information about using SySim to generate the Visual Studio project for the SySim model execution and to build the SySim model execution application, refer to Building the SySim model execution application
SySim has the following controls.
The main SySim window has the following controls:
• PTC Modeler Model list - shows the SysML model that is being worked with.
• SySim Simulator list - lists the SySim Simulation Scenarios in the model and allow you to select the SySim Simulation Scenario for which you want to build a SySim model execution application.
• More Options button - displays the full SySim user interface.

·Make Model Executable And Run button - generates the Visual Studio project for the SySim model execution using ACS, builds the SySim model execution application using Visual Studio and starts the SySim model execution application.
Note that when used the first time with a model, the following message is displayed: Cannot Run a Simulation Without a SySim Control Bar Control. This message appears because the SySim Model Execution form has not been set up. Tell me more...

This button works only for non-express versions of Visual Studio.• Environment list - lists the supported versions of Visual Studio on the computer and allows you to select a version of Visual Studio to use. The list indicates when a version of Visual Studio is not available on the computer.
The MATLAB Simulink (TM) Control group has the following controls:
• 
Open Simulink Models button - opens the Simulink model that is referenced from the SySim Control Block and the Simulink shell model that is generated for that Simulink model.
Open Simulink Models button - opens the Simulink model that is referenced from the SySim Control Block and the Simulink shell model that is generated for that Simulink model.• 
Build Simulink Shell button - builds the Simulink shell. After building the Simulink shell, you can open that Simulink shell model through the Open Simulink Models button.
Build Simulink Shell button - builds the Simulink shell. After building the Simulink shell, you can open that Simulink shell model through the Open Simulink Models button.• 
Rebuild Simulink Shell button - rebuilds the Simulink shell model that was built for the SySim model execution application, even if the timestamps of the Simulink model and shell suggests that the Simulink shell does not require building.
