During the life of a model, you will very likely need to change many configuration parameters to complete different tasks. For example, when debugging you want to enable many run time diagnostics to... read more >>

This week we are introducing MATLAB Tech Talks - short videos explaining important engineering concepts in an informal and entertaining way. Carlos Osorio, our application engineer, and controls... read more >>

On this blog, I sometimes highlight features that it took me a while to appreciate and include in my daily workflow. I hate to admit it, but quite often those are features that I was aware of for... read more >>

A benefit of Model-Based Design is using the same model to accomplish several tasks: tuning, testing, debugging, combining component models into larger system models, etc. Ideally, you should not... read more >>

Today I would like to ask you a question. This week I received a large model where I wanted to find all the Lookup Table blocks and modify their Index Search Method parameter. Since the model was... read more >>

One of the benefits of Model-Based Design is the ability to perform linear analysis on your non-linear model and design controllers using classical controls techniques. In R2013a, configuring your... read more >>

Working in technical support, I see a lot of Simulink models from users. I have realized that many users do not know how to, or do not take the time to configure the ports of the Sum block. For... read more >>

Do you use the Simulation Data Inspector? Here is an example where it saved me a lot of debugging time. Simulation Accuracy I recently had to validate system behavior and analyze numerical... read more >>

When using Simulink variable-step solvers, zero-crossing detection is very useful to capture events accurately. However for some equations, configuring zero-crossing detection can be... read more >>

This week my colleague Pravallika is back to continue her motor control story!

In my previous post, we saw how to estimate continuous transfer functions with System Identification Toolbox. We… read more >>
