My First Debugging Steps 7

Seth sometimes tells me: Grab the low hanging fruit. When debugging Simulink models, this means looking at the information easily available. Here are the first three things I usually look at when... read more >>

Why do we need Stiff ODE Solvers? 2

I hope you have noticed the new MATLAB Central blog: Cleve's Corner. Cleve once said "stiffness is an efficiency issue." Let's explore this from a Simulink point of view by revisiting an article by... read more >>

Creating Your Own Block With Continuous States (MATLAB S-Function) 5

In a previous post, I showed an example of a MATLAB S-Function with a discrete state This week, we continue in the same direction and implement an S-Function with a continuous state. Continuous... read more >>

Simulink Student Challenge – Targeting Hardware: Win up to $500! 1

One of my favorite feature in R2012a is the Simulink Support for Target Hardware. Personally, I use it for many purposes. I use the Arduino target to control my homemade sous-vide cooking system... read more >>

Writing your own block with discrete states (MATLAB S-Function) 5

A few weeks ago, I noticed the following question on MATLAB Answers by K E: What are continuous and discrete states in Simulink? In my opinion, the best way to understand how states work in... read more >>

THE Most Useful Command for Debugging Variable Step Solver Performance 2

Today I want to share a trick I often use to determine if a variable step simulation runs as fast as it should. Visualizing the steps taken by a model To begin, save the simulation time data.... read more >>

How to make your own blocks with code! (Introduction to S-Functions) 10

I have to admit... before joining MathWorks, I was afraid of S-Functions. Now this makes me laugh, because I know that writing an S-Function is very powerful and not that complicated. In my... read more >>

How to Load and Save Bus Signal Data 7

In R2012a, the From Workspace, To Workspace, From File and To File blocks all support bus signals. This is an often requested capability, and I have been looking forward to it for a long... read more >>

Signal Hierarchy Viewer 3

If you are like me and often need to understand and edit new Simulink models, you probably already looked at a bus signal and wished you could easily know the hierarchy of signals inside it. What did... read more >>

Automatic Refresh of Links and Model Blocks 2

The first time I tried editing models componentized with library blocks and referenced models in R2012a, I noticed something was different... ... and I really like that change! What's new In... read more >>
