It is the best choice for mathematical and physical modeling of a system. Simulation tools are powerful and easy to implement.
Excellent software for the simulation of complex control systems
What do you like best about the product?
It is very intuitive and easy to use. Its graphics allow us to see the low and high in the output processes and make the best decisions. We have already been able to meet our expectations with the size of the desired requirements. Our engineers are very satisfied with that. In addition to having specialized tools for each analysis and approach you want to give to a situation. Simulink has incorporated logical and mathematical operators that we can drag and drop and implement any mathematical circuit.
I just wish that software prices go down so that many consumers benefit. Matlab needs to improve this since they have turned this tool into the right hand of any engineer.

What do you dislike about the product?
Actually, I have no negative point in the time of use with this system, the results seem very good, the only thing I could recommend is to try to reduce the cost of the product. I used to study the static reaction of a boiler for different loads that act on the system.
When I update the application and I want to do some tests with old programs, sometimes the development modules do not work with the same results. Sometimes the software needs great computer resources to perform simple tasks and simulations

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a software 100% recommended for students. This tool is very useful to simulate any electrical and control system. It has been used to connect PC to the CAN network through a variety of compatible CAN interface hardware, send and receive messages using the XCP protocol, filter CAN messages and generate code from CAN blocks Simulink
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Although it is a MATLAB add-on, even Simulink eats a large amount of RAM. It is important to use it with a powerful computer. Their libraries are little confusing and their interface is a little sticky to handle, this should be improved.
The best part of Simulink is that we can develop a circuit prototype with ease in this application instead of the hardware implementation all the time. Although you need a lot of money to buy it. I recommend my fellow engineers to use this tool, since simulations and control are very efficient and can perform a large number of variables.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In the company, problems with complex equations were solved with great effectiveness and, to be interlaced with matlab, their performance is better seen allowing to see the inter relationships of variables in the control loops and if there are other tools that improve their performance and debug any final result in the processes we are doing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend to my fellow engineers that they should use this tool since the simulations and control are very efficient and can perform a large number of variables. the program has been developing for a long time and because of this they have added software that complements it, this makes it better than other programs that are in the market, this makes my results in real time the most satisfactory.
It is a perfect software for the simulation of control systems in engineering
What do you like best about the product?
I like the incredible capabilities that this software has for the simulation of industrial control systems, the ability to find the compensation points in arrears or advance graphically as the case may be. In addition to having specialized tools for each analysis and approach that you want to give to a situation. I also find it quite simple to use in conjunction with Matlab, and to be able to share variables between both tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like that the licenses of this software are so expensive, since small companies can not pay for their use. In addition, there is a lot of piracy of this software and it makes those who really have a license to hesitate if this license is really necessary. Sometimes the software needs great resources of the computer to do tasks and simple simulations
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has solved great problems in the company, because it helps us calibrate the control systems of our clients allowing us to provide better services with a visual and intuitive interface

I can recommend this software, because it is a simple and powerful software to solve complex simulations, although great simulations require large computer resources. It is also easy to use and there is a very large community that helps to solve doubts at any time
A specialized software for the simulation of control systems
What do you like best about the product?
It seems an incredible tool, very useful to perform the simulation of control system for multiple areas such as industrial control, which also allows me to graphically order the blocks that I will use in the control loop, being able to appreciate this graphically is very useful because Many programs only allow to express it through equations. It also has a large number of blocks and elements to use and oscilloscopes to be able to appreciate graphically the response of the output depending on the input.
What do you dislike about the product?
In a way I do not like that when you have to simulate very complex control loops the program takes a long time to run the simulation, possibly due to computer power failures and the software is not fully optimized
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has been a very useful and interesting software for the company, because it allows us to simulate the equations of control systems that have already been previously calculated in programs like MatLab. In addition, that of being simple to use and has a large amount of documentation of many of its functions
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend this program to all my engineering colleagues who need to test and simulate simple and complex control loops, because this program allows them to test a large number of variations of control loops. In addition, that this tool is linked to MatLab, and allows to use variables and constants previously declared in the MatLab environment. It is also an environment that takes a long time in development and has a large number of tools that other software do not have, in addition to the possibility of integrating certain functions with real-world variable meters, and performing real-time calculations
Very good for fiber optics calculations
What do you like best about the product?
They way it gives the exact values for different lengths of fibers when connected to different types of modulation.
What do you dislike about the product?
It need certain basics to be cleared before using it. Once the basic tools are known it is pretty much easy to design the whole optisystem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The only problem is that it takes a lot of time to start up if you are using the lower version of Windows such as windows 7 or XP or VISTA. if you are using the higher end of Windows it opens up pretty quickly. For students using this software to design their optisystem it gives a perfect value for the output which helps them in their project.
Incredible Dynamic System Analysis Tool
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is simple to use and very approachable. Having the ability to simulate a dynamic system such as a DC motor or a suspension system has been incredibly helpful in my coursework, extracurricular activities, projects, and in my professional work.
What do you dislike about the product?
The price point is very steep for many companies to take advantage of Simulink.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simulink allows engineers to simulate different inputs to a control system or a dynamic system. Engineers can create models to simulate physical systems, giving them the ability to do experiments and tune systems without spending the money to build physical tests. After building the model, performance in a physical test can be compared to that of the simulation, giving engineers the power to save large amounts of money.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Not a very steep learning curve, but requires a large amount of engineering knowledge to use effectively. Not very useful unless the user wants to analyze dynamic systems. This would be the only use that I can see Simulink being used for.
