Today I decided to revisit a topic I covered a few years ago: loading discrete signals in a simulation.
Let's see what has been added in the last few years to help with the potential problems you... read more >>

After my last post on FMU import and export, someone asked me if exporting a Simulink model to an FMU was a good way to hide the model and protect intellectual property.
The answer is: No!
An FMU is... read more >>

Today, I want to cover the current state of support of Functional Mock-up Units (FMU) in Simulink.
Background
From the FMI standard website, FMI is:
Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) is a tool... read more >>

In MATLAB R2019a, it is now possible to create standalone Stateflow charts that can be executed in MATLAB. Let's see how this work!
Getting Started
First, an important concept: A standalone Stateflow... read more >>

MATLAB R2019a is available for download. Here are some of my favorite new features in the Simulink area.
Model Reference
Two major enhancements have been made to model referencing. The first... read more >>

Today I want to share a useful tip for importing signals from Excel into a simulation.
From Spreadsheet block
In case you were not aware, since R2015b, Simulink has offered the From Spreadsheet... read more >>

I posted about variants in the past, but things have changed a lot since then, so I thought it would be a good idea to review the options available for variants in R2018b.
Variant Subsystem
If you... read more >>

Sometimes, I hear about a plan for a new feature without immediately realizing its impact... but it ends up fundamentally changing the way I use Simulink. Quick Block Insert is one such feature.
If... read more >>

In my previous post, I introduced an example I recently published on MATLAB Central: Four-Cylinder Engine Ignition Control Simulation.
After describing how the plant model has been implemented, it is... read more >>

This post introduces an example project I recently submitted to MATLAB Central: Four-Cylinder Engine Ignition Control Simulation
This project was made in collaboration with Isaac Hisahiro Ito at... read more >>
