Simulink is a block diagram environment used to design systems with multidomain models, simulate before moving to hardware, and deploy without writing code.
MATLAB is a programming and numeric computing platform used by millions of engineers and scientists to analyze data, develop algorithms, and create models.
The Simulink approach is based on time based and multi rate system, which is useful for HDL code generation.
MATLAB, is more for the mathematical based algorithm development and which will not consider the time while in simulation (independent of time).
Additionally, Simulink is graphical and more interactive to the user.
Engineers and scientists connect MATLAB and Simulink to FPGAs, microprocessors, cameras, instruments, and other hardware to design, test, and verify systems that combine hardware components and software algorithms.
NASA has been particularly fond of using MATLAB and Simulink in their projects.
On Artemis I, the SLS carried the Orion crew capsule to orbit. Orion is the distance-record owner of a human-rated spacecraft, having traveled approximately 450,000 km from Earth.
The Orion Electrical Power System, which powered the spacecraft during its 25 ½ day trip, was modeled in MATLAB and Simulink to validate the design. The Guidance, Navigation and Control system (GN&C), which told the spacecraft where to go, was designed in MATLAB and Simulink using Model-Based Design.
The Space Launch System (SLS) rocket is designed to carry humans into deep space. Using MATLAB® and Simulink® for simulation and validation, the complex mission management logic is designed to ensure that the SLS can correctly respond to nominal and off-nominal events.
