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...read more >>

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...read more >>

Today I want to introduce a fundamental Simulink concept: masking a block. Masking provides you with a way to put an interface on an algorithm. This can centralize the system parameters for...read more >>

I once faced a problem where Simulink reported, “Cannot solve algebraic loops...” Algebraic loops can be solved by Simulink, but often slow down the simulation. For this reason, we have the...read more >>

In a recent post, I kicked off the discussion of Simulink workflow accelerators. The comments for that post were a great look at ways people work with Simulink. The discussion reminded me of...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 >>

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 >>
