One of the features I like about SimMechanics is the ability to specify the motion of a system without having to think about the forces involved. This can simplify testing a model so you don't have... 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 >>
When looking at the solver configuration of a new model, you probably noticed that many settings are set to Auto. When an Auto option is provided for a setting, it is because we feel that this... read more >>
This week I received the following question from a Simulink user: I have a data acquisition system which saves signals at variable intervals. I want to import this data into a variable-step... read more >>
Following Guy's recent post with Tips for Simulation Performance, I thought I would provide a couple links for additional resources. Here they are: The Simulink Performance Master... read more >>
By Guy Rouleau One of the questions I hear the most often from Simulink users is What can I do to make my model run faster? Here is a list of tricks that can help. Displays and Scopes When... read more >>
Update: In MATLAB R2017a the function PARSIM got introduced. For a better experience simulating models in parallel, we recommend using PARSIM instead of SIM inside parfor. See the more recent... read more >>
Last week the MathWorks released the R2009b family of
products. There are many new capabilities in the latest release and with this
blog post, I want to highlight a some of the features in Simulink... read more >>
