This morning I was telling my colleague Rob about the blog post I was writing on sample time colors. We talked about models that demonstrated the concept, and he dove into his computer to find an... read more >>

In early April, our physical modeling team released a new add-on for Simulink, SimElectronics.
SimElectronics extends Simscapeby adding tools for modeling electronics and electromechanical… read more >>

The MATLAB Central community covers a wide range of MathWorks products. After a quick glance, you might not guess there is a Simulink/Real-Time Workshop/Model-Based Design sub-culture, but there... read more >>

If I am not in a meeting, I am generally at my desk. I often spend the whole day in front of a computer. Because so much of my time is spent with a hand on the keyboard, I look for all those... read more >>

I remember while learning Simulink, drawing ordinary differential equations was one of the early challenges. Eventually I discovered a few steps that make it easier. First, rewrite the equations... read more >>

Have you ever been in this situation: You run into a software bug, and you verify that the bug has been fixed in the latest version, but you can't install the latest version to get the bug fix. Why... read more >>

Blog reader Paul J. shared with us his mental model of the bus as a structure. While this isn’t true of virtual buses, it is precisely true of nonvirtual buses. In fact, when you generate the... read more >>

Most Simulink users have a good idea of what a bus signal is but I have found people are not as clear about what distinguishes virtual and nonvirtual buses. We have discussed bus signals in recent... read more >>

A few recent comments on this blog have asked about bus objects. Blog reader KMR remarked that "bus objects are one of the most important parts of the whole bus concept: allowing you to lock down... read more >>

Today I present for your reading pleasure a continuation of our discussion on mux and bus signals. Last week we looked at the advanced uses of Mux Blocks. This week I want to discuss the mental... read more >>
