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 >>

Often, it is worth putting a bit of extra effort at the beginning of a project to save time later. Today I want to introduce a feature that gets more useful with every release of Simulink, but... read more >>

Today I want to highlight R2012b features very useful when debugging a model. Using the simulation stepping and conditional breakpoints, you should be able to run your simulation up to a certain... read more >>

This week I want to share two new ways of resizing blocks in R2012b. Those might seem very minor, but I think they can be very useful. Keeping Ratio If you hold the Shift key while resizing a... read more >>

This week, guest blogger Jason Ghidella talks about solder joints. I say “sōl-dər” After reading Michael Carone’s blog post on smart signal routing, I was immediately motivated to talk about... read more >>

This week guest blogger Michael Carone is here to talk about improvements to signal routing in Simulink R2012b. Smart Signal Routing Has this ever happened to you: You have two blocks that you... read more >>

Last week I showed how to pan and zoom within one system of a model. This week, we will talk about your options to navigate between systems in Simulink R2012b. Explorer Bar One of the first... read more >>

As we highlighted recently, Simulink R2012b has a ton of new features. During the next weeks, we will try to provide as much details as possible on all this new cool stuff. For this week, I will... read more >>

As you probably know by now, a lot of changes happened in MATLAB R2012b. As with everything, changes in our environment or with what we are used to requires adaptation. To help you with this, I... read more >>
