Simulink is a MATLAB-based graphical programming environment for modeling, simulating and analyzing multidomain dynamical systems.
Simulink’s primary interface is a graphical block diagramming tool and a customizable set of block libraries.
Simulink is popular among systems engineers because multi-domain dynamical systems can be analyzed with this software by a variety of professions.
Simulink’s principal interface consists of a graphical block diagramming tool and a collection of block libraries that may be customized. Features include:
Product style control
Traceability criteria
Application coverage analysis
Simulink provides a graphical editor, customizable block libraries, and solvers for modeling and simulating dynamic systems. It is integrated with MATLAB, enabling users to incorporate MATLAB algorithms into models and export simulation results to MATLAB for further analysis.
The differences between Simulink and MATLAB are often misunderstood.
Simulink has Graphical User Interface (GUI) whereas MATLAB is just code. Simulink’s GUI lends it more intuitiveness.
Simulink supports hardware communication. You can write a PID controller in Simulink and download it to Arduino. Embedded coding: it can convert Simulink code to C code.
An often cited issue for MATLAB is that it doesn’t control hardware very well.
The Simulink approach is based on time based and multi rate system, which is useful for HDL code generation. Whereas, MATLAB is 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.
