Guy and Seth on Simulink

Explaining Model-Based Design to your Mom

Today, we had a short conversation at the start of a meeting. It went something like this:

Guy: Yesterday I opened the main page of the MathWorks website and saw a link to a new video about Model-Based Design.

Seth: We should highlight that video with a blog post!

Guy: I thought you would say that. Here it is:

Model-Based Design with MATLAB and Simulink video

Guy: Did you hear that? 200,000,000 lines of code in my car!

Seth: So when I hit the breaks, I'm running C code! Cool. I feel like I will be able to show this video to my mom, my dad and my non-engineers friends to give them an idea of what I do!

Guy: During the last few years I have actually worked on technical support requests related to many of the projects mentioned in this video!

Jason (The guy with the blue shirt and cool glasses in the video): In case you are not familiar with Model-Based Design, I recommend looking at this section of our website to get more info and download a tech kit to help you getting started.

Now it's your turn

Guy: How do you like the video?

Seth: How does your mom like it? Leave us a comment here.

    Great video! As an ex-Mathworker I would love to see the tools penetrate more into small/mid-sized design groups.

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
