This week, I am happy to welcome guest blogger Tom Egel from MathWorks Consulting Services. CoolProp to the Rescue Do you use the Simscape Thermal Liquid domain? If so, then you should know... read more >>
In last week's post, I demonstrated how we can use MATLAB to find the launch date of the Ares 3 crew from the book The Martian, by Andy Weir. This week, I will describe in more detail how we can... read more >>
About a year ago, I read the book The Martian, by Andy Weir. I really enjoyed the story, with all the technical details of how Mark Watney solves one problem after another to survive alone on... read more >>
Today I will share a technique I often use when debugging Simulink models, and more especially Simscape models. Algebraic Constraint Violated Did you ever run into the following... read more >>
Today I want to share a technique I like to use when I need to create custom hydraulic components in Simscape. The Problem I often get questions similar to the following from users: I need... read more >>
Today I want to share a discussion I had with a few fellow guest bloggers: Corey Lagunowich, Zack Peters, Matt Brauer and Seth Popinchalk. Deflate-gate Corey: Hey guys, did you hear about the... read more >>
Recently, I was happy to find in my mailbox the book What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions, from Randall Munroe, the author of the website XKCD.com. Since I am... read more >>
This week we see how to export a CAD assembly from SolidWorks to SimMechanics. Once a mechanism is translated into a SimMechanics model, we can interface it with Simulink to perform a wide range of analysis or design tasks not available in most CAD software.... read more >>
This week, Matt Brauer is back to improve his three-dimensional analysis of the hyperloop transportation concept to include banking of the vehicle within the tube.... 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 >>
