Last week I took part in a presentation about the Model-Based Design Process Assessment™ offered by the MathWorks Consulting Services. I was impressed to see how deep this assessment goes to... read more >>

In case you forgot, tomorrow is Valentine's Day. Instead of going for the classic bouquet of flowers or box of chocolates, why not be original and give something that will last forever... a well packaged Simulink Project.... read more >>

With the XXII Winter Olympics starting this week, I thought we should take the time to model something from the games! So lets look at how conservation of angular momentum is important in figure skating.... read more >>

Since R2010a, the Simulink Library includes a block named Integrator, Second Order. In my experience most people do not know about this block. Let's look at an example were the Integrator,... read more >>

Today I am happy to welcome guest blogger Jacob Halbrooks to describe some nice capabilities of the MATLAB System block dialog. The MATLAB System block is new in R2013b and allows you to... read more >>

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 >>

Ahhh... C Mex S-function... If you ever tried creating a C Mex S-function and were a little rusty on your C programming, you might have experienced strange behavior or event MATLAB crashes. This... read more >>

Today I want to highlight a new entry in the Simulation menu in R2013b: Log/Unlog Selected Signals. If you have to log multiple signals, this will save you a lot of time. As its name implies,... read more >>

When I wrote a post about the R2013b new features, Fraser replied in a comment that one of his favorite new feature is the requirements linking to MATLAB code. This made me realize that I never... read more >>

This week Matt Brauer is back to describe work he did to analyze the trajectory of the Hyperloop proposal. This is a key input to the Hyperloop Simulink models we are building. Matt's conclusion... read more >>
