This week I want to share two new ways of resizing blocks in R2012b. Those might seem very minor, but I think they can be very useful. Keeping Ratio If you hold the Shift key while resizing a... read more >>
This week guest blogger Michael Carone is here to talk about improvements to signal routing in Simulink R2012b. Smart Signal Routing Has this ever happened to you: You have two blocks that you... read more >>
Last week I showed how to pan and zoom within one system of a model. This week, we will talk about your options to navigate between systems in Simulink R2012b. Explorer Bar One of the first... read more >>
Seth sometimes tells me: Grab the low hanging fruit. When debugging Simulink models, this means looking at the information easily available. Here are the first three things I usually look at when... read more >>
Today I want to share a trick I often use to determine if a variable step simulation runs as fast as it should. Visualizing the steps taken by a model To begin, save the simulation time data.... read more >>
As we all know, in Simulink there are always multiple ways to implement a functionality. One situation where I often hesitate when choosing an implementation is conditional execution. I will share... read more >>
August 2019 Update: See blog post Loading Signals in Timetable Format for an improved way to address the issue described in this post. ----------------- Today I want to look at a problem that... read more >>
Did you notice that since R2010a it is possible to initialize buses with a MATLAB structure? If you were not aware, here is how it works. Starting from a Structure Let's say I have a structure... read more >>
In a previous post, we illustrated the Simulink.findVars function. To be honest, I am not very good at remembering the syntax of functions. Every time I encounter a situation where I could use... 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 >>
