Since as far as I can remember, Simulink users always had concerns about how to best use Model-Based Design within a collaborative environment. Simulink Projects is designed to answer questions like:<\/p>\r\n\r\n
- \r\n\t
- How to componentize your design?<\/li>\r\n\t
- How to facilitate peer review workflows?<\/li>\r\n\t
- How to do configuration management within Simulink?<\/li>\r\n\t
- How to integrate with external data management tools?<\/li>\r\n\t
- How to make it easy for everyone on the team to work in the same way?<\/li>\r\n\t
- How to access standard tools and libraries across the company?<\/li>\r\n\t
- How to create a more efficient team-working environment?<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n
Enough said about what it is supposed to do... let's see what it looks like. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
What is Simulink Projects?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n
The fundamental concept behind Simulink Projects is to create a standardized environment accessible by all members of a team, making collaborative workflows in Model-Based Design easier and more efficient.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
To get started, you can look at an example project by executing the following command:<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\r\nSimulink.ModelManagement.Project.projectDemo('airframe')\r\n<\/code>\r\n\r\nThe Simulink Project window will be launched:<\/p>\r\n\r\n

<\/p>\r\n\r\nAs you can guess just by looking at this image, the Simulink Project window allows you to:\r\n\r\n
- \r\n\t
- Collect<\/a>, organize and view all the files in your project.<\/li>\r\n\t
- Create shortcuts<\/a> to run frequent tasks.<\/li>\r\n\t
- Quickly identify modified files<\/a>.<\/li>\r\n\t
- Launch a dependency analysis<\/a>.<\/li>\r\n\t
- Add labels<\/a> to files, for example to tag<\/a> a file for review.<\/li>\r\n\t
- Interface<\/a> with source control software, such as Apache\u2122 Subversion\u00ae (SVN)<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n
and this is just the tip of the iceberg!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
How to learn more about Simulink Projects?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Now it's your turn!<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n
What are your first impressions of Simulink Projects? Would you be interested to see a series of posts on collaborative workflows in Model-Based Design?<\/p>\r\n\r\n
I would be really interested to hear how you currently manage your Simulink files, and if you think Simulink Projects could help you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
