The MathWorks, a supplier of technical computing software for engineers and scientists, has released what it says is the industry's most advanced model-based design software that enables users to develop complex embedded control systems from initial concept through embedded target deployment. The MathWorks is represented in South Africa by Opti-Num Solutions.
With the delivery of Simulink 4.0, Stateflow 4.0, and Real-Time Workshop 4.0, control engineers and embedded systems designers can now adopt an integrated model-based design process that replaces the traditional written specification and manual software coding approach, says the company. It claims that weeks to months can be eliminated from the overall design process for embedded applications in the aerospace, automotive, telecommunications, and industrial control industries, while the efficiency and reliability of these systems are significantly increased.
"Miltec has exclusively relied on MathWorks products to carry out our day-to-day engineering activities. These tools have allowed us to provide accurate solutions to our customers in record time and at substantial savings in cost and reduction in development time," said Paul M. Christian, Director of Advanced Technology at Miltec. "We are very excited about future releases of MathWorks tools. The upgrades have always surprised us with the amount of changes that help the engineering community maintain pace with our ever-increasing workloads."
Together, the latest versions of Simulink, Stateflow, Real-Time Workshop, and their extensions form an interactive, graphical modelling environment that allows users to design, analyse, and accurately simulate models of complex, large-scale systems. Models are simulated to clearly understand their behaviour, and serve as 'executable specifications' of the system. Users can then convert the models to instrumented code for rapid prototyping and hardware-in-the-loop simulation, and automatically generate high-performance code for use in target embedded processors.
The Control Design Suite (consisting of MATLAB, Simulink, Stateflow, and the Control System Toolbox), Real-Time Workshop, Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder, and Stateflow Coder, are available for Windows 95, 98, 2000, and NT, Linux, and UNIX platforms.
