Edit at the Speed of Thought

MathWorks is always looking for ways to improve the way you complete modeling and editing tasks in Simulink. In each release, you’ll find tools and resources that will help you save time as you refine your models to meet your intended goal or design.

Simulink Toolstrip: Access and discover Simulink capabilities when you need them - R2019b

Simulink Onramp: Learn the basics of how to create, edit, and simulate Simulink models through an interactive tutorial - R2019a

Automatic Port Creation: Create a port by clicking or dragging the block outline - R2018b

Componentize Your Design

Develop complex designs through system componentization, concurrent development, sharing, and reuse.

Model Run-Time Software

You can model, simulate, and target Simulink components for embedded software frameworks. Using modeling abstractions, you can enhance your algorithm model to map scheduling, communications, memory, and diagnostic services, and you can schedule functions to investigate execution order effects. Find issues before deploying your generated code on the target by modeling run-time software.

Messages: Model and generate C++ code for software compositions with message-based communication - R2019b

Schedule Editor: Explicitly schedule the execution of your model components - R2019a

Sequence Viewer: Visualize function calls, message communication, Stateflow state changes and event activity over time  - R2019b

Row-Major Array Layout: Simplify integration with external C/C++ functions, tools, and libraries by specifying the array layout for Lookup Table and other blocks as row-major - R2018b

Speed Up Your Simulations

Maximize the performance of your simulations with the latest developments in solver technology, cached simulation artifacts, and other enhancements in the simulation workflow. You can also use parallelism to scale up your large-scale simulations.

Analyze Simulations

When you need to debug, analyze, or visualize model simulations and results, Simulink gives you the right tools to get a deeper understanding of system behavior.

Run Algorithms on Hardware

Directly run algorithms on a variety of hardware, including Arduino boards, Raspberry Pi computers, LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3, and Android and iOS smartphones and tablets. The deployed algorithms can run standalone or can be connected to Simulink, allowing you interactively tune parameters and visualize signals in near real time.

Manage Projects

Manage your development and collaborate with your team by automating tasks, processes, and file management. Componentize projects, organize files, analyze their dependencies, compare changes, and perform common operations through automation and integration with source control.

Model Comparison: Get accurate Simulink block matches when comparing models - R2019a

Manage Design Data

Scale and automate design data handling to facilitate efficient development workflows and improve development process integrity.

Model Arguments: Easily configure instance-specific parameters in a nested model reference hierarchy for value specification at the top level - R2019a

Data Dictionary: Define global data for referenced models in separate dictionaries and Simulink will check consistency during integration - R2019a

Undefined Variable Detection: Get instant notifications about missing variables while editing your model - R2018a

Model Data Editor: Easily view, filter, group, and edit more data used by a model including signals, states, and referenced variables - R2017b
