The other day, I was teaching a lab for recently hired at MathWorks. In that lab, I ask attendees to program LEGO MINDSTORMS robots using Simulink. One of the things I see in this lab is that people... read more >>

Update: The Modeling and Simulation Challenge group has been deprecated. I recommend looking at Simulink OnRamp, which can be run in MATLAB Online in your browser. ---------------- I am sure... read more >>

Did you notice that in R2015a, simulations now have metadata in their output? What is simulation metadata? The getSimulationMetadata method of the Simulink.SimulationOutput object returns a... read more >>

I have seen many users run into trouble when resolving an algebraic loop, so this week I want to explain why you should never break a continuous algebraic loop with a Memory block. The... read more >>

Today I will share a technique I often use when debugging Simulink models, and more especially Simscape models. Algebraic Constraint Violated Did you ever run into the following... read more >>

Some time ago, I wrote a post about Getting the most out of Rapid Accelerator mode. That post describes how to use the RapidAcceleratorUpToDateCheck = 'off' option to skip the initialization... read more >>

Today I want to share a technique I like to use when I need to create custom hydraulic components in Simscape. The Problem I often get questions similar to the following from users: I need... read more >>

Today I am happy to welcome my colleague Ramamurthy Mani for another very interesting study using SimEvents.
Introduction
Recently, I read an article in Wired (TM) magazine that posed a question that… read more >>

This week I want to highlight an improvement to the Undo feature in Simulink. Undo Parameter Changes For as long as I can remember, in Simulink it has always been possible to undo graphical... read more >>

In R2015a, we introduced a new product called Simulink Test. This product offers many great features like a Test Sequence block, various ways to test results of a model against validated data, and a... read more >>
