use an embedded function
If you don't have the toolbox you can use an S-function. Although, you would have to convert your M-code to C-code...

"you would have to convert your M-code to C-code... " No you don't have to do that. S functions can be native m.

Another way of doing that is to create a user function block, which would appear to limit you to one input and one output, but I see no reason why you couldn't MUX multiple inputs into a vector. I'll try that when I am next on a suitable box.

Thanks Greg, I'm looking for your results here.

Yes, Greg you are right. My apologies. I remember using m-file S functions as well to solve nonlinear DE's in Simulink.
OP,
The"user function block" is the same as an "embedded function block". Which can handle any amount of inputs and outputs all in m-code.
Actually this is much simpler than an S-fcuntion for bergineers.
But, S-functions are far more powerful. (embedded only allows some external functions to be utilized) (whereas an m-file s-function can solve any n-order runge kutta DE as well as basic computations. ect.

Could you please give me an example of using m-file in a model? For example I have hash.m file: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fx_files/8944/1/hash.m

it consists of two inputs, one is integer and second is char. The output is also char.

I don't think simulink likes char.
