I recently noticed requests for a block implementing a behavior that might be called "Reverse Multiport Switch". You can find a few request like that on MATLAB Answers here and here. In my... read more >>

This week we are taking a break from Simulink features and capabilities to take a step back and look at the history of simulations. What Is Simulation? Sometimes it is good to take a step back... read more >>

If you are going to work with C or C++ S-Functions, you will probably need to do some debugging. My advice is: Don't go with the printf debugging approach. I did that for too long and now I... read more >>

SimMechanics users, the first time you opened the Simulink Library Browser in R2012a, you probably noticed a big change: SimMechanics Second Generation SimMechanics Second Generation is a... read more >>

Since I joined the technical support department at MathWorks, one of the questions I received the most often is: Can you make my model go faster? Over the years I gained experience with model... read more >>

Often, it is worth putting a bit of extra effort at the beginning of a project to save time later. Today I want to introduce a feature that gets more useful with every release of Simulink, but... read more >>

Today I want to highlight R2012b features very useful when debugging a model. Using the simulation stepping and conditional breakpoints, you should be able to run your simulation up to a certain... read more >>

This week I want to share two new ways of resizing blocks in R2012b. Those might seem very minor, but I think they can be very useful. Keeping Ratio If you hold the Shift key while resizing a... read more >>

This week, guest blogger Jason Ghidella talks about solder joints. I say “sōl-dər” After reading Michael Carone’s blog post on smart signal routing, I was immediately motivated to talk about... read more >>

This week guest blogger Michael Carone is here to talk about improvements to signal routing in Simulink R2012b. Smart Signal Routing Has this ever happened to you: You have two blocks that you... read more >>
