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 >>

I have to admit... before joining MathWorks, I was afraid of S-Functions. Now this makes me laugh, because I know that writing an S-Function is very powerful and not that complicated. In my... read more >>

In R2012a, the From Workspace, To Workspace, From File and To File blocks all support bus signals. This is an often requested capability, and I have been looking forward to it for a long... read more >>

If you are like me and often need to understand and edit new Simulink models, you probably already looked at a bus signal and wished you could easily know the hierarchy of signals inside it. What did... read more >>

The first time I tried editing models componentized with library blocks and referenced models in R2012a, I noticed something was different... ... and I really like that change! What's new In... read more >>

Do you know about the Time Scope available with the DSP System Toolbox? This visualization tool was introduced in release R2010a and has been improved upon every release thereafter. The novelty... read more >>

As we all know, in Simulink there are always multiple ways to implement a functionality. One situation where I often hesitate when choosing an implementation is conditional execution. I will share... read more >>

Today I welcome my friend Nishaat Vasi to introduce a new feature of Simulink Verification and Validation: Model Advisor Exclusions. Nishaat: Hey Guy, did you notice the new Model Advisor... read more >>
