A core theme in Model-Based Design is reusing your intellectual property for different tasks.  Analysis for the purpose of design is a critical benefit.  Today I introduce Erman Korkut to show how to estimate the frequency response of your Simulink model. Have you ever estimated frequency response of your Simulink models? Have you ever tried... read more >>

Today I introduce guest blogger Arkadiy Turevskiy to share some new features in R2009b: the PID Controller Blocks in Simulink and a new PID tuning method in Simulink Control Design.... read more >>

This week I welcome guest blogger Aarti Ramani to talk about a long requested feature, variable size signals in Simulink.... read more >>

This week I want to introduce guest blogger Steve Miller to talk about the Simscape language.... read more >>

As you may know, Space Shuttle Atlantis is about to
return this weekend from man’s last visit to the Hubble Telescope.  Those
astronauts took some major risks to repair our favorite and most famous scientific
instrument.  One of the tools they used during space walks is the robotic
manipulator from the Canadian Space Agency... read more >>

I am so excited about saving and restoring the simulation state in Simulink. This is my favorite feature of R2009a because it has been long anticipated and it enables important new capabilities for simulations. While the... read more >>

Often models are the predecessor to a real-life device; however, sometimes a device inspires the model. In the 1980s, there was a group known as the Leg Lab at CMU who researched running robots.  In 1986 the Leg Lab moved to MIT.  Some of their robots are now on display... read more >>

If you are like me, you read the doc, a lot.  I am often clicking on the help just to verify my understanding of a function’s syntax, or the behavior of a block.  That is why I wasn’t surprised to find myself involved in a detailed discussion about the documentation for FFT.  ... read more >>
