The options are wide. We can do any physical model be it mechanical, electrical model and simulate it virtually to troubleshoot. This is huge in case of cost cutting.

We have to depend on matlab which is a used to write a code to run a model in simulink

I very much dislike the graphics of the program. It looks like microsoft paint. Additionally, when trying to do more advanced things or get the program to do what you want, its a huge pain. Error messages are unhelpful in fixing the algorithms.
