As you probably know, when you simulate a model, there is a lot of stuff going on that you do not see. Yesterday I showed a user how to visualize the execution of a simulation step by step using... read more >>

One of the benefits of working at MathWorks is seeing and working with the next release of MATLAB and Simulink before they are released. For the people who download the pre-release version, they get... read more >>

If you create and maintain Simulink libraries used in many models, or by many people, I think you will like this R2012a new feature: Interactive Library Forwarding Tables for Updating Links. Note:... read more >>

This week I have been experimenting with a feature released in R2010b that I have not used before: Stateflow Atomic Subcharts The Problem I am currently working on a model architecture where... read more >>

Seth sometimes tells me: Grab the low hanging fruit. When debugging Simulink models, this means looking at the information easily available. Here are the first three things I usually look at when... read more >>

I hope you have noticed the new MATLAB Central blog: Cleve's Corner. Cleve once said "stiffness is an efficiency issue." Let's explore this from a Simulink point of view by revisiting an article by... read more >>

In a previous post, I showed an example of a MATLAB S-Function with a discrete state This week, we continue in the same direction and implement an S-Function with a continuous state. Continuous... read more >>

One of my favorite feature in R2012a is the Simulink Support for Target Hardware. Personally, I use it for many purposes. I use the Arduino target to control my homemade sous-vide cooking system... read more >>

A few weeks ago, I noticed the following question on MATLAB Answers by K E: What are continuous and discrete states in Simulink? In my opinion, the best way to understand how states work in... read more >>

Today I want to share a trick I often use to determine if a variable step simulation runs as fast as it should. Visualizing the steps taken by a model To begin, save the simulation time data.... read more >>
