Simulink

Features

Rich and expandable library of predefined modules.

Interactive graphical editor to combine and manage intuitive block diagrams.

Divide the model with the hierarchical nature of design functions to achieve management of complex designs

Navigate, create, configure, and search any signal, parameter, and attribute in the model through Model Explorer to generate model code.

Provide API for connection with other emulation programs or integration with handwritten code.

Use Embedded MATLAB™ module to call MATLAB algorithm in Simulink and embedded system execution

Use a fixed step size or variable step size to run the simulation, according to the simulation mode (Normal, Accelerator, Rapid Accelerator) to decide to run in an interpreted manner or to run the model in the form of compiled C code.

Graphical debugger and profiler to check simulation results, diagnose design performance and abnormal behavior

Access MATLAB to analyze and visualize results, customize modeling environment, define signal parameters and test data.

Model analysis and diagnostic tools to ensure the consistency of the model and determine errors in the model.
