Continuing the semi-annual tradition, I am excited to\r\nannounce the latest release of MATLAB and Simulink, R2009a.\u00a0 Check out the Simulink\r\nrelease notes<\/a> to get the full details of the release.\u00a0 Here are a couple\r\nhighlights of my personal favorite new features.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Save the full simulation state<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

This is an often-requested feature that I have personally\r\nbeen looking forward to for many years.\u00a0 When you think of states in a model,\r\noften we think of the continuous and discrete states of the system.\u00a0 Many\r\nblocks, like the Transport Delay and Stateflow blocks, store their state\r\ninformation in work vectors that are not part of the continuous or discrete\r\nstates of the model.\u00a0 \u00a0With the R2009a release of Simulink, you can store the\r\ncomplete SimState at the end of the simulation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"Save<\/p>\r\n\r\n

You can use the SimState to initialize the model and restart\r\nthe simulation exactly at the point where it stopped. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Model Reference Parallel Build<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

If you use Model Reference and you have a license for the\r\nParallel Computing Toolbox, you may be able to improve your build time on\r\nmulti-core machines.\u00a0 Part of initialization for reference models involves\r\nbuilding the accelerated reference model.\u00a0 Depending on the hierarchy of your\r\nreference models, you may be able to take advantage of the multiple cores on\r\nyou computer during this build process.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"Model<\/p>\r\n\r\n

When the hierarchy has many parallel models with no dependencies,\r\nthese build in parallel on local MATLAB workers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Smart Guides<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Now, as you are laying out blocks in your model, guides show\r\nup and the blocks snap into alignment with other blocks in the model.\u00a0 This is\r\na lot of fun and makes it easy to keep your model clean as you build.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"Simulink<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Customize the Library Browser<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

The Simulink Library browser can be customized with an\r\nsl_customization.m file.\u00a0 The options for customizing the library browser\r\ninclude reordering libraries, disabling and hiding libraries, and customizing\r\nthe library browsers menus.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"Simulink<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Print the Sample Time Legend<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

We added a button to the Sample Time Legend to allow\r\nprinting.\u00a0 There is also an option in the regular print dialog for models to include\r\nthe sample time legend when printing the system.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"The<\/p>\r\n\r\n
