Did you ever receive a "data dependency violation" error message from a Simulink model? I will try to explain why this happens and what you need to do to avoid this error by introducing my... 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 >>
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 >>
A few months ago I introduced my favorite command to analyze the performance of a variable-step solver. This week, I will introduce how the Simulink Debugger can be used for a deeper analysis of... read more >>
As you probably know, when you simulate a model, there is a lot of stuff going on that you do not see. Yesterday I showed a user how to visualize the execution of a simulation step by step using... read more >>
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 >>
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 >>
Today I want to share a useful trick to control signal logging using the Model Explorer. Enabling Logging from the Signal Properties dialog Until recently, to enable logging of signals I was... 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 >>
