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 >>

I am not done yet... there are still a few more new things in Simulink R2015b I need to highlight. Scope In R2015b, the Simulink Scope has been entirely redesigned with tons of new features. It... read more >>

In R2015b, lots of enhancements related to buses have been implemented. Let's give a look. Port Value Labels for buses When debugging models, I sometimes like to use the Port Values Display. I... read more >>

This week we continue looking at new features in R2015b. After going through editing features, let's now look at new features affecting how blocks work. Waveform Generator Block Using a... read more >>

MATLAB R2015b has been recently released. It's time to see what's new! When going through the release notes, what hits me the most is that R2015b contains a ton of small improvements that will... read more >>

Today I want to share a trick I recently found out. The Problem: Getting the Value of Nested Mask Parameters I want to write a script that will look in a model for blocks of a particular type,... read more >>
