In a previous post, I answered a question about how to model an If-Else behavior.  Here I will restate the algorithm I want to create: if(sel==0) out = 2*in1; elseif (sel==1) out =... read more >>

My colleague Sam and I wanted to find an example model with about 10,000 blocks.  I suggested the HL-20 model from the Aerospace Blockset, asbhl20.mdl.  Sam decided to measure the total number of... read more >>

Earlier this week, Guy and I were discussing the sometimes-strange behavior of mux and bus signals.  Sometimes people find a Mux block in their model that appears to output a bus signal.  In this... read more >>

Today I am pleased to share a post from regular guest blogger, Guy Rouleau.  Enjoy! I often use Simulink to model the dynamics of simple systems. In most cases, the Simulink default... read more >>

When you are new to something, it always helps to get a mental picture of how that something works.  Since I learned Simulink over 10 years ago, I have developed my own mental model of Simulink... read more >>

Many people talk about the anticipation of the next iPhone, Kindle or some must-have techno gadget. I am looking forward to the next release of MATLAB. I downloaded the prerelease last week and now... read more >>

Balaji Kalluri asked a question in the comments of a post about the MUX block.  Balaji asked: Hi All I would be highly obliged, if someone can show me a route to model a typical ... read more >>

As you may know, Space Shuttle Atlantis is about to return this weekend from man’s last visit to the Hubble Telescope.  Those astronauts took some major risks to repair our favorite and most famous... read more >>

I stumbled upon a blog post over at The Green Garage where they interviewed a couple of my colleagues, Paul Smith and Shaun Kalinowski.  They talked to them in front of the MathWorks booth at the SAE... read more >>

This week I am borrowing the Pick of the Week blog format pioneered by Scott and Doug and carried on by the three amigos: Bob, Brett and Jiro. Simulink Pick of the Week Seth’s pick this week... read more >>
