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 >>

As you may know, it is easy to run Simulink models on a set of supported target hardware. This has been possible since R2012a. Even if we add more targets and support more features for each target... read more >>

Yesterday I explained to a colleague the effect of the Inport block option Latch input for feedback signals of function-call subsystem outputs . I thought it would be interesting to share... read more >>

Today we are happy to welcome guest blogger Kirthi Devleker to talk about a new trigger functionality added to the Time Scope in R2013a. Did you know that a Trigger functionality is now available... read more >>

If you are a user of Configurable Subsystems, it is time to start thinking about making the switch to Variant Systems. Simulink Variants provide increased functionality over Configurable... read more >>

MATLAB R2013a is now available for download! At the end of this post, I reveal my favorite feature in R2013a… what will it be?

For an overview of the new features, you can watch this release… read more >>

Have you noticed a new block in the Stateflow Library since R2012b? The MATLAB Chart block uses MATLAB as the action language for states and transitions in Stateflow. This means that you... read more >>
