Recently, I spoke with a user who needed to interface a Simulink model with an external flight simulator implemented as java classes. He was able to exchange data with his simulator at the MATLAB... read more >>
Last week I helped a user implementing an iterative algorithm in Simulink using the While Iterator Subsystem. I thought it would be interesting to share this technique. Example Iterative... 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 >>
On this blog, I sometimes highlight features that it took me a while to appreciate and include in my daily workflow. I hate to admit it, but quite often those are features that I was aware of for... read more >>
Today I would like to ask you a question. This week I received a large model where I wanted to find all the Lookup Table blocks and modify their Index Search Method parameter. Since the model was... 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 >>
When using Simulink variable-step solvers, zero-crossing detection is very useful to capture events accurately. However for some equations, configuring zero-crossing detection can be... read more >>
This week, after using Simulink R2012b for 6 months, I discovered a little something I find very useful. Closing Tabs I dig through models all day and I always end up with lots of open tabs. Up... read more >>
Often, it is worth putting a bit of extra effort at the beginning of a project to save time later. Today I want to introduce a feature that gets more useful with every release of Simulink, but... read more >>
