Today I want to share a trick I recently found out. The Problem: Getting the Value of Nested Mask Parameters I want to write a script that will look in a model for blocks of a particular type,... read more >>
The other day, I was teaching a lab for recently hired at MathWorks. In that lab, I ask attendees to program LEGO MINDSTORMS robots using Simulink. One of the things I see in this lab is that people... read more >>
Update: The Modeling and Simulation Challenge group has been deprecated. I recommend looking at Simulink OnRamp, which can be run in MATLAB Online in your browser. ---------------- I am sure... read more >>
Did you notice that in R2015a, simulations now have metadata in their output? What is simulation metadata? The getSimulationMetadata method of the Simulink.SimulationOutput object returns a... read more >>
I have seen many users run into trouble when resolving an algebraic loop, so this week I want to explain why you should never break a continuous algebraic loop with a Memory block. The... read more >>
Today I will share a technique I often use when debugging Simulink models, and more especially Simscape models. Algebraic Constraint Violated Did you ever run into the following... read more >>
Some time ago, I wrote a post about Getting the most out of Rapid Accelerator mode. That post describes how to use the RapidAcceleratorUpToDateCheck = 'off' option to skip the initialization... read more >>
