Modeling and Simulation with Simulink

The MathWorks defines system-level design as high-level modeling to capture an overall product concept and lower level modeling to specify implementation details. For complete end-to-end simulations, our tools enable you to integrate different components including analog/mixed signal, DSP, digital communications, and control logic. Once you've modeled your system, you can validate that it performs to your specifications by exploring design trade-offs and tuning parameters to optimize performance. Our customers who adopt a system level design approach tell us that they improve their time to market because implementation proceeds more smoothly when it can be verified against the validated executable specification in Simulink®.

Features include

• Intrinsic fixed-point blocks
• New Signal Builder Block
• Improved S-function builder

Application libraries such as the DSP Blockset and the Communications Blockset provide all the common blocks needed to model any DSP or digital communications system. Companion product Stateflow®, models MAC layer and control logic functions to fully simulate event driven systems. All these tools are integrated with MATLAB®, the world's leading DSP algorithm development tool.

 

Performing FPGA Hardware in the Loop Simulations with Simulink

Reduce errors introduced by hand coding complex DSP functions in HDL languages by creating a bit true and cycle accurate model of your FPGA design in Simulink and Xilinx System Generator for DSP™. Perform hardware in the loop (HIL) simulations before you implement using the tools described here and a Xilinx DSP third party board vendor in a Xilinx FPGA. Designs done in Simulink are bit true and cycle accurate to what you implement in the Xilinx supported family of FPGAs.

MathWorks Training Services - Invest in your success

The MathWorks offers Web-based and Instructor-led training. You can choose individual courses as needed, or you can take courses as part of a sequence in a professional track. We currently offer the following tracks:

• Technical computing
• Designing Communications Systems using Simulink
• Digital Signal Processing
• Automotive

MathWorks classes are highly interactive. Students spend up to two-thirds of the time working with actual products. Real-world examples are built into each class to give you a solid understanding of how to approach new technical computing challenges that you may encounter.

Our instructors provide individualized attention in a classroom setting and are adept at customizing the curriculum based on each student's learning style and abilities.
