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 >>

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 >>

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 >>

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 >>

If I am not in a meeting, I am generally at my desk. I often spend the whole day in front of a computer. Because so much of my time is spent with a hand on the keyboard, I look for all those... read more >>

I remember while learning Simulink, drawing ordinary differential equations was one of the early challenges. Eventually I discovered a few steps that make it easier. First, rewrite the equations... read more >>
