Earlier this week, I had to debug an issue related to a block mask in MATLAB R2012b. This made me realize that I have not written about masking in a long time.
So many capabilities have been added in... read more >>

Earlier today, a colleague came to me asking for a way to include an image in a block to be used as mask image. I though it might be interesting to share my response here.
The Problem
Here is the... read more >>

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 >>

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 am happy to welcome guest blogger Jacob Halbrooks to describe some nice capabilities of the MATLAB System block dialog. The MATLAB System block is new in R2013b and allows you to... read more >>

This week's post has been triggered by question recently posted on this blog regarding Masking and Variant Subsystems. If you look at this exchange I had with Xiaojun Yang, you will see that it... read more >>

In R2011b, we are trying to make it easier to interface the parameters of a masked subsystem with the parameters of the blocks under this mask. We call this Promoting Block Parameters. Let's see how... 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 >>

Last week the MathWorks released the R2009b family of
products.  There are many new capabilities in the latest release and with this
blog post, I want to highlight a some of the features in Simulink... read more >>

Most Simulink models use workspace variable to define the important parameters.  For example, setting the gain value to K and then defining K in the workspace.  I wrote about initializing these... read more >>
