Did you notice that since R2010a it is possible to initialize buses with a MATLAB structure? If you were not aware, here is how it works. Starting from a Structure Let's say I have a structure... read more >>

In a previous post, we illustrated the Simulink.findVars function. To be honest, I am not very good at remembering the syntax of functions. Every time I encounter a situation where I could use... read more >>

I noticed that many users are not aware that it is possible to specify sample time offsets in Simulink. Scalar Sample Time In this simple model, I have specified the sample time of the Constant... read more >>

When looking at the solver configuration of a new model, you probably noticed that many settings are set to Auto. When an Auto option is provided for a setting, it is because we feel that this... read more >>

In R2011b, we are trying to make it easier to interface the parameters of a masked subsystem with the parameters of the blocks under this mask. We call this Promoting Block Parameters. Let's see how... read more >>

Today I will illustrate how to combine two features I like: Subsystem Variants and Masking. The Question I created a subsystem with two variants and I have specific masks for each... read more >>

Do you generate code to be executed on a multi-core processor? Wouldn't it be cool if you could decide which part of the model will execute on which core? Modeling Concurrent... read more >>

A couple weeks back MathWorks announced the Simulink Student Challenge. We have seen some crazy great things developed in Simulink and we are still looking for more. To help you with that, we... read more >>

Back in 2010, I wrote a post explaining how to apply a scalar algorithm to a vector using the For Each subsystem. At that time, only discrete algorithms could be vectorized that way. In R2011b, the... read more >>

Have you done something super-cool in Simulink?Can you make a short video of it and share it on YouTube?Are you a student? If you have answered yes to these questions, then you might be able to win... read more >>
