If you are creating, editing or analyzing Simulink models programmatically, you are probably familiar with find_system.While there is nothing fundamentally wrong with find_system, in this post I want... read more >>

I am sure most Simulink users will agree that viewing and analyzing warnings and errors is an important part of working with Simulink models. When simulating models interactively using the play... read more >>

Today I want to talk about variables, needed by a Simulink model, that are function of other variables.Let's take the simple example of a right triangle:For most Simulink users, if you have a model... read more >>

Today I want to share a simple trick I recently recommended to a user who was struggling with retrieving error messages from simulations.The Problem What this user described is that, when simulating... read more >>

In a previous post, I introduced a model simulating the exponential spread of a phenomenon like COVID-19. With more and more talks in the news about deconfinement plans, I thought it would be... read more >>

If you are attentive to details, you might have noticed that in MATLAB R2019b, we removed the First-Order Hold block from the Discrete section of the Simulink Library browser.
At the same time, we... read more >>

Today I decided to revisit a topic I covered a few years ago: loading discrete signals in a simulation.
Let's see what has been added in the last few years to help with the potential problems you... read more >>

After my last post on FMU import and export, someone asked me if exporting a Simulink model to an FMU was a good way to hide the model and protect intellectual property.
The answer is: No!
An FMU is... read more >>

Today I want to share a useful tip for importing signals from Excel into a simulation.
From Spreadsheet block
In case you were not aware, since R2015b, Simulink has offered the From Spreadsheet... read more >>

I posted about variants in the past, but things have changed a lot since then, so I thought it would be a good idea to review the options available for variants in R2018b.
Variant Subsystem
If you... read more >>
