Are you a frequent MATLAB user whose knowledge of Simulink is limited to sldemo_househeat? Maybe you're looking to join the Hyperloop project? Or you just want to use Simulink more, but don't quite... read more >>

Today I want to share two lines of code I find very useful. The problem I often need to exchange models with users. One of the thing people struggle the most while doing that is providing the... read more >>

Today, we are welcoming Michael Carone, who provides responses to the most frequent questions we receive about S-Functions. What can you use S-Functions for? S-Functions allow you to create... read more >>

Today I want to share with you one of the lesser known semantics of Stateflow: the transition that ends on an inner boundary of a state. This is not an inner transition; those start on an... read more >>

If you’re working in the system engineering space, you are very likely familiar with the Requirement Traceability feature of Simulink Verification and Validation. I have discussed this topic in... read more >>

How often you end up wondering what the value of a block parameter in Simulink is? In the past, I used to open the block dialog, copy the variable name, go the MATLAB prompt, paste the value... read more >>

As our devices get smaller and systems get embedded into everything, there is a greater need to properly model inter-system communication. Let's take a simple example: imagine a smart thermostat that... read more >>

After finding the launch date of the mission and putting together a simulation of the spacecraft trajectory, it's time to see how we can optimize this trajectory. Let's bring him... read more >>

In last week's post, I demonstrated how we can use MATLAB to find the launch date of the Ares 3 crew from the book The Martian, by Andy Weir. This week, I will describe in more detail how we can... read more >>

About a year ago, I read the book The Martian, by Andy Weir. I really enjoyed the story, with all the technical details of how Mark Watney solves one problem after another to survive alone on... read more >>
