I am writing a paper in IEEEtran class (Michael Shell) . I have a figure which fits in the two columns. But thee caption is being left aligned. How shall I center the caption? Should we center a caption for IEEEtran class ? MWE is as follows

\documentclass[journal]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure*}[!t]
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=5in]{myfig2.png}
    \caption{Simulink model }
    \label{fig_sim}
\end{figure*}
\end{document}

I saw those 2 questions but could not understand what to do. Are the ieee class captions left aligned even for a double column figure? – ShJ Aug 10 '17 at 14:37
@Shivam, yes, default caption position in IEEEtran˛ is left aligned. if you will publish in their conference/journal, than left this as it is. otherwise use solution in provided links. – Zarko Aug 10 '17 at 14:46
Ok. So I will leave it left aligned. Thanks – ShJ Aug 10 '17 at 14:50
