Co-simulation by using an M-File can be done in two ways. One way is by using the Motion Host and the other way is using the MATLAB Host. The simulation steps for the Motion Host are explained in the figure and table below.

| Step | Operation |
| 1st step | Select the ribbon menu as shown in the figure above. |
| 2nd step | Select the Run entity as shown in the figure above. |
The properties of co-simulation are introduced in the figure and table below.
