We're always updating Simulink. Learn about the latest capabilities and explore the newest features.
Hear directly from our development team about what's new in Simulink:
Smart Editing
Port Connection Cues: Highlight compatible ports as you draw a signal line
Hidden Block Names: Improve model appearance by hiding default block names
Reduced Bus Wiring: Quickly group signals as buses and automatically create bus element ports for fewer signal lines between and within subsystems
Automatic Port Creation: Add inports and outports to blocks when routing signals
Simulation Analysis
Simulation Pacing: Run simulations at wall clock speed or other specified pace for improved visualization
Simulation Data Inspector in the Live Editor: Add, view, and edit Simulation Data Inspector plots directly in the Live Editor
Sample Time Legend: Interactively identify rates in your model through highlighting with the new Sample Time Legend
Diagnostic Handling: Directly fix errors and warnings from diagnostic messages, such as algebraic loops, as well as manage suppressed diagnostics
Hit Crossing Messages: Create Messages for debugging and send them to Stateflow and SimEvents to indicate events in Simulink for hybrid system modeling
Signal Tracing: Highlight and navigate a signal from its source to a destination
Unified Streaming and Logging: Mark a signal once to stream it to the Simulation Data Inspector and log it to the MATLAB workspace
Simulation Data Inspector: Run simulation comparisons with a new UI, time tolerance support, and faster performance
Simulation Data: Easily access simulation output data in the MATLAB Variable Editor and MATLAB Command Window
Performance Improvements
Simulink Cache: Get simulation results faster by using shared model artifacts
Just-in-Time Acceleration Builds: Quickly build the top-level model for improved performance when running simulations in Accelerator mode
Automatic Solver Option: Set up and simulate your model more quickly with automatically selected solver settings.
Parallel Simulations
Simulation Manager: Monitor, inspect, and visualize simulation progress and results
Parallel Simulations: Directly run multiple parallel simulations from the parsim command
Inport File Streaming: Stream large input signals from MAT-files without loading the data into memory

Project Management
Impact Analysis: Easily identify dependencies and impacts of block or requirement changes in your Simulink project
Model Compare and Merge: Identify differences between model elements, Stateflow charts, and MATLAB Function blocks
Automatic Project Creation: Easily turn a folder into a project and manage your files, data, and environment in one place
Missing Product Identification: Fix models with unresolved library links and unknown block types by finding and installing missing products
Data Management
Undefined Variable Detection: Get instant notifications about missing variables while editing your model
Model Design Data: Use multiple sources for your design data by allowing Data Dictionary to access the base workspace
Signal Editor: Create and edit input signals that can be organized for multiple simulations
Model Data Editor: Easily view, filter, group, and edit more data used by a model including signals, states, and referenced variables
Property Inspector: Edit parameters and properties of model elements using a single interface
Variant Modeling
Variant Signals in Buses: Use variant conditions to dynamically add and remove bus elements
Simulink Variants: Create more customizable variant models by using improved Variant Subsystem and variant condition propagation capabilities
