I am proud to announce the arrival of R2008b.  Simulink, Stateflow, and Real-Time Workshop have many important new capabilities to explore.  If you have not yet downloaded the latest release log... 続きを読む >>

Two weeks ago, I posted the Challenge: Metronome Synchronization.  The challenge was to model the synchronization of metronomes as observed in this video.
The results of the challenge tell an... 続きを読む >>

I haven’t seen much activity on the Metronome Synchronization Challenge, so I want to provide a peak at the basis for my solution.  I took the approach of modeling a pendulum, and then linking its... 続きを読む >>

My good friend Doug, formerly of Pick of the Week fame, sent me an e-mail last week with the subject “Model this.”  The message contained nothing more than a link to a video.  Doug started a new... 続きを読む >>

In my last post about the Continuous Time Integrator, I talked about the bouncing ball model sldemo_bounce. Amin commented: Hi Seth! Is it necessary to rest the position integral in the... 続きを読む >>

One of the ways I think of Simulink is as a graphical interface to the solvers.  Moreover, when I think of the solvers, I usually think of the continuous time solvers and the integrator block.  In... 続きを読む >>

My recent posts have focused on the different elements required to build a library block.  There is the conceptual design of the block, the dynamic dialog, and the mask initialization code.  In each... 続きを読む >>

In previous posts, I introduced advanced masking concepts and discussed how to build a masked library block with a dynamic mask dialog.   In this post, I will show how the example Saturation... 続きを読む >>

When configuring a Simulink block, you usually use a graphical user interface (GUI).  In this post I’m going to investigate the basics of programming a dynamic GUI using the mask editor. The... 続きを読む >>

Masking does more than just put a professional interface on your algorithm.  Simulink blocksets provide elaborate graphical user interfaces (GUIs) to control the behavior of blocks.  The block... 続きを読む >>
