A couple weeks back MathWorks announced the Simulink Student Challenge. We have seen some crazy great things developed in Simulink and we are still looking for more. To help you with that, we... read more >>

Back in 2010, I wrote a post explaining how to apply a scalar algorithm to a vector using the For Each subsystem. At that time, only discrete algorithms could be vectorized that way. In R2011b, the... read more >>

Have you done something super-cool in Simulink?Can you make a short video of it and share it on YouTube?Are you a student? If you have answered yes to these questions, then you might be able to win... read more >>

Yesterday I came across this model: At first look, one might think that these two implementations should give the same results. However this is not the case because the delayed data is... read more >>

Among all the posts I made in the last year, one that received many comments is How to customize the Simulink Scope. In this post, I suggested to use the simplot function to customize the way you... read more >>

MATLAB R2011b is available for download since midnight September 1, 2011! Each new release brings some excitement, but for me this one is especially exciting. I have been waiting for a long time... read more >>

Today I want to share a useful trick to control signal logging using the Model Explorer. Enabling Logging from the Signal Properties dialog Until recently, to enable logging of signals I was... read more >>

Did you notice the new Dataset logging format available in R2011a? This new format offers a lot of advantages over the old ModelDataLogs format. Here are a few examples. Timeseries... read more >>

Wouldn't it be great if you could analyze a Simulink model and certify that it will never encounter design errors like divisions by zero and overflows? Since MATLAB R2011a, this is possible! This... read more >>

Working in technical support, I receive a lot of models. Sometimes I am impressed by very clever implementations, but sometimes the only thing coming to my mind is "Why is he doing that?". Here are a... read more >>
