I have MATLAB R2016b, full installation, OS X 10.11.6. I attempt to open a .slx file (created in MATLAB R2016b on my other machine) and get the following response:
Warning: Undefined variable "SlCovCC" or class "SlCovCC.ConfigComp".
> In openmdl (line 12)
In openslx (line 9)
In open (line 159)
In uiopen (line 167)

The Simulink file opens, and I can see my blocks, but none of the expected buttons (Run, Settings, Library, etc) are present. See screenshot.
If I enter `simulink` in the general MATLAB prompt, I get the following:
Warning: The following error was caught while executing
'sltemplate.internal.observers.SimulinkHistoryObserver' class destructor:

Undefined function or variable 'slLibraryBrowser'.
The last is a hard error (red), and no Simulink windows open.
I have tried reinstalling the Simulink toolbox, to no avail.

I understand that you are unable to open Simulink properly.
Firstly, this could be a license checkout issue. Check to see that the following command gives an output of 1.
>> license('checkout','SIMULINK')
Secondly, there may have been changes to the MATLAB path or settings. To restore the default path and clear cache, run the following commands in the command line and also delete the contents of the MATLAB prefdir which can be found by typing 'prefdir'.
>>restoredefaultpath
>>rehash toolboxcache
>>savepath
Finally, if this doesn't work, you would need to unistall and reinstall MATLAB and Simulink.
