Yesterday, I was giving a training to new hires at MathWorks and one of the attendees asked me how to hold a value in Simulink. Of course, my answer was that there are many ways to hold a value... read more >>
Today I want to highlight a new entry in the Simulation menu in R2013b: Log/Unlog Selected Signals. If you have to log multiple signals, this will save you a lot of time. As its name implies,... read more >>
Today I had a good discussion with a user regarding the Function-Call Split block introduced in R2010a. On one side, the user claimed that there was no need for a Function-Call Split block. For... read more >>
A benefit of Model-Based Design is using the same model to accomplish several tasks: tuning, testing, debugging, combining component models into larger system models, etc. Ideally, you should not... read more >>
Working in technical support, I see a lot of Simulink models from users. I have realized that many users do not know how to, or do not take the time to configure the ports of the Sum block. For... read more >>
Do you use the Simulation Data Inspector? Here is an example where it saved me a lot of debugging time. Simulation Accuracy I recently had to validate system behavior and analyze numerical... read more >>
Yesterday I explained to a colleague the effect of the Inport block option Latch input for feedback signals of function-call subsystem outputs . I thought it would be interesting to share... read more >>
Today we are happy to welcome guest blogger Kirthi Devleker to talk about a new trigger functionality added to the Time Scope in R2013a. Did you know that a Trigger functionality is now available... read more >>
This week I discovered that event listeners also work with bus signals! You might be saying: "What is an event listener?" In this post, I will describe how to register an event listener for a bus... read more >>
I recently noticed requests for a block implementing a behavior that might be called "Reverse Multiport Switch". You can find a few request like that on MATLAB Answers here and here. In my... read more >>
