This week we see how to create flexible bodies in SimMechanics. For that, we will use techniques seen in previous posts like Building Models with MATLAB Code and Self-Modifying Subsystems.... read more >>

Today I would like to ask you a question. This week I received a large model where I wanted to find all the Lookup Table blocks and modify their Index Search Method parameter. Since the model was... 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 >>

By Guy Rouleau This week I received a large model giving different results when used as a referenced model in Accelerated mode, compared to the Normal Mode. To give you an idea, the top model in... read more >>

I was just clicking through my vast inbox of unread e-mail, and saw a MATLAB Central news reader alert. I quickly scanned the message and then clicked on the link to view the thread on MATLAB... read more >>

Occasionally I get questions about how to build, modify, and add blocks, to Simulink models using MATLAB commands. In this post, I will to give a basic overview of the common... read more >>

My colleague Sam and I wanted to find an example model with about 10,000 blocks.  I suggested the HL-20 model from the Aerospace Blockset, asbhl20.mdl.  Sam decided to measure the total number of... read more >>

Here we have an example library consisting of masked subsystems. sys = 'pidLibrary'; open_system(sys) When you double click on a block, you get the mask dialog, and the Help button displays... read more >>
