It is not every day that I attend a speech by political leaders of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Governor Patrick speeking about the value of science technology engineering and math (STEM)… read more >>

This week I welcome guest blogger Aarti Ramani to talk about a long requested feature, variable size signals in Simulink. Depending on target ranges, radar systems operate in different modes... read more >>

Recently, when I arrived at work, I found this parked on the lawn: This is the EcoCAR from the EcoCAR Challenge. MathWorks hosted about one hundred students from the EcoCAR teams for the... read more >>

This week I want to introduce guest blogger Steve Miller to talk about the Simscape language. Introduction to the Simscape Language I’ve been working with MATLAB and Simulink since my... read more >>

Back in February 2009 I posted about how to test for NaN in Simulink.  The approach I talked about was more of a logical experiment based on the special properties of NaN than an... read more >>

Last week the MathWorks released the R2009b family of
products.  There are many new capabilities in the latest release and with this
blog post, I want to highlight a some of the features in Simulink... read more >>

Did you ever notice that a BEEP in Simulink means something different from a BEEP in MATLAB? BEEP, What BEEP?  What I’m talking about is that bell character you sometimes hear.  In older... read more >>

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 >>
