As we all know, in Simulink there are always multiple ways to implement a functionality. One situation where I often hesitate when choosing an implementation is conditional execution. I will share... read more >>
Today guest blogger Pravallika describes how she used new features of the System Identification Toolbox to design a controller for a DC motor Any controls engineer knows that the key to... read more >>
The other day I found this video: If you watch carefully, you will see around 1:50 that they used Simulink to design their controller. So for this week's post, I thought it would be... read more >>
I am currently working on a model and I have a dilemma. There are two ways I could model my system. I need you to tell me which approach is best and why. I need your help! The Goal I am... read more >>
I noticed that many users are not aware that it is possible to specify sample time offsets in Simulink. Scalar Sample Time In this simple model, I have specified the sample time of the Constant... read more >>
Do you generate code to be executed on a multi-core processor? Wouldn't it be cool if you could decide which part of the model will execute on which core? Modeling Concurrent... read more >>
Back in 2010, I wrote a post explaining how to apply a scalar algorithm to a vector using the For Each subsystem. At that time, only discrete algorithms could be vectorized that way. In R2011b, the... read more >>
Yesterday I came across this model: At first look, one might think that these two implementations should give the same results. However this is not the case because the delayed data is... read more >>
By Guy Rouleau One question I often receive is: How can I change the value of a block parameter while the simulation is running? A good example of this type of question is the following: How do... read more >>
By Guy Rouleau In a previous post, I introduced the Embedded MATLAB Function block. This block gives the possibility to write an algorithm in MATLAB code, include it in a Simulink model, and... read more >>
