This week, after using Simulink R2012b for 6 months, I discovered a little something I find very useful. Closing Tabs I dig through models all day and I always end up with lots of open tabs. Up... read more >>

Did you ever receive a "data dependency violation" error message from a Simulink model? I will try to explain why this happens and what you need to do to avoid this error by introducing my... read more >>

This week I discovered that event listeners also work with bus signals! You might be saying: "What is an event listener?" In this post, I will describe how to register an event listener for a bus... read more >>

This week's post has been triggered by question recently posted on this blog regarding Masking and Variant Subsystems. If you look at this exchange I had with Xiaojun Yang, you will see that it... read more >>

The 2012 Simulink Student Challenge is complete and we have our winners! Thanks to everyone who participated. All of the entries were amazing. 3rd place Artemiy Smekhov for his model of... read more >>

I recently noticed requests for a block implementing a behavior that might be called "Reverse Multiport Switch". You can find a few request like that on MATLAB Answers here and here. In my... read more >>

This week we are taking a break from Simulink features and capabilities to take a step back and look at the history of simulations. What Is Simulation? Sometimes it is good to take a step back... read more >>

If you are going to work with C or C++ S-Functions, you will probably need to do some debugging. My advice is: Don't go with the printf debugging approach. I did that for too long and now I... read more >>

SimMechanics users, the first time you opened the Simulink Library Browser in R2012a, you probably noticed a big change: SimMechanics Second Generation SimMechanics Second Generation is a... read more >>

Since I joined the technical support department at MathWorks, one of the questions I received the most often is: Can you make my model go faster? Over the years I gained experience with model... read more >>
