Modeling Mechanical Systems: The Double Pendulum 34

Do you ever have to model mechanical systems?  Mechanical systems consist of bodies, joints, and force elements like springs.  In this post, I will show you how to model a double pendulum with base... read more >>

Metronome Challenge Winners

Two weeks ago, I posted the Challenge: Metronome Synchronization.  The challenge was to model the synchronization of metronomes as observed in this video.
The results of the challenge tell an... read more >>

Challenge: Metronome and Cart Equations of Motion 6

I haven’t seen much activity on the Metronome Synchronization Challenge, so I want to provide a peak at the basis for my solution.  I took the approach of modeling a pendulum, and then linking its... read more >>

Challenge: Metronome Synchronization 2

My good friend Doug, formerly of Pick of the Week fame, sent me an e-mail last week with the subject “Model this.”  The message contained nothing more than a link to a video.  Doug started a new... read more >>

Follow the Bouncing Ball 3

In my last post about the Continuous Time Integrator, I talked about the bouncing ball model sldemo_bounce. Amin commented: Hi Seth! Is it necessary to rest the position integral in the... read more >>

Continuous Time Integrator 10

One of the ways I think of Simulink is as a graphical interface to the solvers.  Moreover, when I think of the solvers, I usually think of the continuous time solvers and the integrator block.  In... read more >>

How To Make Your Own Simulink Block 50

Today I want to introduce a fundamental Simulink concept: masking a block.  Masking provides you with a way to put an interface on an algorithm.  This can centralize the system parameters for... read more >>

How did I get an algebraic loop error, when the diagnostic was set to warning? 23

I once faced a problem where Simulink reported, “Cannot solve algebraic loops...” Algebraic loops can be solved by Simulink, but often slow down the simulation. For this reason, we have the... read more >>

Community Favorite Accelerators 5

In a recent post, I kicked off the discussion of Simulink workflow accelerators. The comments for that post were a great look at ways people work with Simulink. The discussion reminded me of... read more >>

Announcing SimElectronics! 7

In early April, our physical modeling team released a new add-on for Simulink, SimElectronics.
SimElectronics extends Simscapeby adding tools for modeling electronics and electromechanical… read more >>
