simulink review
What do you like best about the product?
there are no other softwares that can be compared to simulink. I love how simple it is to simulate a dynamic system, control design and even generate c code
What do you dislike about the product?
I dont like how simulink handles bus signals there should be an easier way to create and use buses and also create bus signals with messages inside (not only numbers). I also hate to use memory blocks to share data between simulink blocks. I usaually use global variables which has its own problems
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
mostly control design and optimization problems
Recommendations to others considering the product:
build and test your model in small steps

Good for LTI analysis
What do you like best about the product?
Scope and monitor functions in LTI analysis environment
What do you dislike about the product?
Although there are many tools/functions in Matlab, the relation between the Simulink and the tools/options is very limited. The error messages during the simulation is frustrating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Simulink is a nice training tool for academic purposes. The examples include but not limited to: LTI system, communication system, power system, etc.
Good and easy and very intuitive programme
What do you like best about the product?
Model based designing which makes it easy to understand complicated problems
What do you dislike about the product?
User interface isn’t very intuitive need some work on developing the UI
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Steering and dynamics of vehicles
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Yes good to learn
Excellent experience 👍
What do you like best about the product?
Simulink is a great tool for simulation and specially for control system design, Embedded Coder, HDL Coder, etc...
What do you dislike about the product?
For my I don't have any dislikes for simulink.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Robotics system design and simulation, vibration analysis, programming FPGA using system generator.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a great application you can do whatever you want and put theory into practice easily and powerfully.
Easy to use and great interface
What do you like best about the product?
Feature-rich tool! Packed with different functions however I recommend to take a class to learn how to use them. It is a high-level language for scientific computing that enables basic and complex computational calculations, and also makes 3D and 2D graphical simulation easier. It has extensive use in engineering studies. Furthermore, it integrates numerical analysis and estimation of matrixes where problems are represented equally.
What do you dislike about the product?
Expensive license and can be intimidating at first. Sometimes the software can become really slow in response time. I don't know if that's an issue with the software or my workstation. I have also encountered issues regarding compatibility with older libraries. Also, when developing some modular applications, MATLAB's performance seems to reduce when compared to other platforms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Image processing and data modelling. This is student-friendly and easy to use. I've used it to make GUIs, for control system projects as well as for basic programming exercises. MATLAB has been the primary tool of our academic activities in general and research in particular. It has helped in solving research problems in the area of image processing. Now I am also exploring its use in the area of data science. It is surprisingly useful in this area although I still prefer using Python mainly for that.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend getting formal lessons as using Simulink requires a lot of studying especially the features.
best app to process data!
What do you like best about the product?
I like this app as it give me the opportunity to process big amount of data in a fast way without the need to work manually.. It is for sure time saving. I also use it for statistical data analysis.
What do you dislike about the product?
sometimes I cannot find the right command for what I need and errors appear on the screen. It would be more user friendly if suggestions were present in the format of :maybe you meant...'
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
time saving, fast data process, also used for graphical purposes
Simulation is very easy with Simulink
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of Simulink is that it enables anybody to use block diagrams and simulate any system very easily. I use Simulink in my job. There are a lot of tools that you can use for your search. The simulations are done very quickly. The results are very close to my theoretical results. Simulink is much better than any other simulation software.
What do you dislike about the product?
Simulink doesn't help me to choose best solver. I always find best solution tool by trial and error. The some solution tools take so much time. It doesn't give any information about the time. Secondly, the compiler error gives so much trouble to me. I spend so much time to analyze and solve the problem. There may be some suggestions for this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I solve my dynamic system problem with Simulink. My job is to optimize both static and dynamic maps around equilibrium points. There are a lot of tools to do this. I didn't know much about Simulink. However, I have learned by myself. There are a lot of videos on the internet. You can get help them easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recomment the other user to learn much about Simulink. There are so many thing that you can imagine.
Perfect Simulation Software for My Research
What do you like best about the product?
Simulink is a wonderfull software to draw your diagram, simulate them and get result. I use Simulink in my research to visualize how the power system behaves. I test my controller very easily. It is very clear how to draw. Block diagrams make complicated systems easy to understand. Second part that I like is that it also allows real-time simulation.
What do you dislike about the product?
I always encounter some error when I try to open new version document in an old version Simulink. When I try to open a slx file that my friend sends to me, it gives version error and doesn't open. The solution is to save slx file in an older version. However, it consumes so much time. Simulink also gives errors that nobody can understand easily. I need to search on the internet to solve it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Simulink to make simulations regarding my research. I mostly use Control Toolbox. PID tool is very handy. I can add just one block (PID block) to control a system. This makes my job easy. Another benefit that I mention is that I can use Simulink to drive some motors in real time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend everyone who makes simulation of dynamic system to use this software.
I use Simulink for my research and my homeworks.
What do you like best about the product?
Simulink helps me to visualize the system that we want to control or examine. We can see the relation between the subsystem/subblocks. Any large and complex system can be modelled with Simulink such that anyone can see the whole picture and all details at the same time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Errors are not so clear. It is hard to understand where my mistake is. It would be better if Simulink gives some hint at least to solve basic errors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I model the system that I want to apply controller. I construct different blocks like state observer, plant, reference system etc. It is great to see all of them in one picture.
Best software for embedded programming
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to program and also has lot of options to choose to customize. I know Matlab programming, but simulink make programming so simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
The processing time and the memory it occupies is little higher than other programs
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving automotive control for Electronic throttle and control of drive motor through ECUs. I find it handy and flashing the ECU is also pretty simple with this program.
