Introducing the New MATLAB

Desktop

8

MATLAB Toolstrip Find what you need

Tabs organize commonly used functionality

Key features placed up front

Design optimized for common tasks

Functionality only appears when needed

9

Quick Access Toolbar

Place to put commonly

used commands

Any item from a tab or shortcuts can be added to the toolbar

Remains visible when the toolstrip is minimized

10

What are MATLAB Apps?

Interactive MATLAB programs that include a GUI

Apps are included in many MATLAB products

There are also many user-written apps

11

MATLAB Apps Gallery

Tab within the MATLAB Toolstrip

Prominently displays both user-written apps and apps included in MATLAB products

Makes it easy to find and launch MATLAB apps

12

Packaging and Sharing MATLAB

Apps Automatically includes all necessary files

Documents required products

Creates single installation file for easy distribution and installation into the MATLAB apps gallery

13

Getting More Apps

14

Import Tool

Interactive import of delimited and fixed-width text files

Improved handling of:

Mixed numeric & text data

Dates

Define rules for handling nonnumeric values

Automatically generate MATLAB code (scripts and functions) to automate the process

15

Command Line Suggestions

Suggested corrections for mistyped functions and variables in the Command Window

Press Enter to execute the suggested command, or Esc to delete it

What’s new in Simulink R2012b

By:

Siddharth Sharma and Jason Ghidella

10/26/2012

26

Agenda

Modeling and simulating systems with the new Simulink Editor

Developing control logic with the new Stateflow Editor

Building and sharing models in teams

27

Simulink R2012b is the most

significant upgrade to Simulink ever Who does Simulink R2012b affect?

Every single Simulink user

Why?

Because Simulink R2012b features the new Simulink Editor, which makes it easier to view, navigate, and edit models.

In short …

Simulink R2012b simplifies modeling

28

Highlights of the new Simulink

Editor Explorer bar to navigate model hierarchy

Tabbed windows to minimize window clutter

Reorganized menu to fit common workflow of Model-Based Design

Smart signal routing that determines the optimal signal line path

Badges to get signal and block information at a glance

Simulation stepper with breakpoints to debug the simulation

Comment out blocks to test variations of the model

29

Highlights of the new Stateflow

Editor Tighter integration with Simulink (e.g., tabbed windows, Explorer bar)

Smart guides to align states, junctions, functions for cleaner charts

Drag margins to move containers and their contents

Transition indicator lines to identify labels for transitions

Just-in-time error notifications to highlight object placement conflicts

Debug buttons located within main menu for easy access

Visual breakpoints and data value displays during debug mode

30

Agenda

Modeling and simulating systems with the new Simulink Editor

Developing control logic with the new Stateflow Editor

Building and sharing models in teams

31

Team Collaboration Challenges

How Do I ...

Organize and manage files?

Access to project-level utilities?

Associate project-level information with files?

Transfer knowledge across projects?

Use source control functionality within the design environment?

Track design changes?

32

Support for Team Collaboration
