What do you like best about Simulink?

How useful and the multiple tools it gives it presents to you to simulate circuits and plc, so it saves a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Simulink?

It requires a minimum process capacity (especially ram) from the computer, so, sometimes, based on the use, it can be a little bit slow, or it will close if your computer is not good enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Simulink solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used to prove the behavior of plc circuits before implementing it in real life Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Simulink?

Simulink is highly versatile and caters to businesses working on diverse projects, such as ours; it also offers specific toolboxes for specialized applications. It is widely known for its seamless integration with MATLAB; it has also allowed our business to leverage MATLAB's extensive mathematical and analytical capabilities within Simulink models, enabling advanced simulations and analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Simulink?

While Simulink provides real-time simulation capabilities, businesses like ours with specific real-time requirements or high-performance computing needs may find the built-in capabilities limited. There are compatibility and integration challenges; Integrating simulink with other software tools or existing IT infrastructure may require additional effort. Hence, compatibility issues or the need for custom interfaces can arise, especially when integrating simulink with external software, hardware or proprietary systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Simulink solving and how is that benefiting you?

The Model-based development allows our company to create executable models that serve as a single source of truth for system designs and requirements. From a business standpoint, this approach has benefitted our company by enhancing collaboration and documentation and simplifying translation from design to implementation.

What do you like best about Simulink?

The graphical interface in it. Which make it easier to point out where the problem might have occurred.

And also it's integration with the Matlab.

Because of its interface it's easy to learn and use the libraries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Simulink?

The c++ code simulink generates are not very efficient. I always have to refine the code later on.

Also, I would like if would be multithreaded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Simulink solving and how is that benefiting you?

1. Giving me more control over inputs easily.

2. Make complex problem easy to represent using blocks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Simulink?

the best thing I like about Simulink is the ease of code. the code used to design the programme is almost similar to Matlab and can easily be captured and learned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Simulink?

the thing I dislike simulink is UI. The user interface for error identification is not good. we find it difficult to find the error in the code. This should be like Matlab. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Simulink solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem that Simulink is solving is the automated solution of the problem. I just type the code and the end product solution is generated. This benefitted me in solving a lot of assignments Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Simulink?

Simulink is the best block diagram environment for modelling, simulation and analysis of various systems. The things that I like about Simulink are as follows:

1) It is very easy to learn and a user-friendly tool. It is easy to set up the required parameters and variables for the simulation.

2) It is integrated with MATLAB, which is also an excellent tool for data analysis. Simulink helps us to visualize the systems that we analyse. MATLAB and Simulink can be used with each other.

3) A huge amount of support material and tutorials are available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Simulink?

I find that Simulink is the best available block diagram environment for the analysis of multidomain systems. However, I find some drawbacks which are as follows:

1) My system slows down a lot while using Simulink and MATLAB.

2) There have been some instances where the Simulink crashed down and I had to lose the data.

3) I feel that using Simulink alone is easy, but integrating it with MATLAB seemed difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Simulink:

I would definitely recommend Simulink to all those who are looking for a block diagram environment to carry out simulations and analyses of multidomain systems. It is very easy to use with a lot of support available. It helps a lot in visualizing the systems that are designed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Simulink solving and how is that benefiting you?

The Simulink tool can be used in many domains of design and analysis. However, I have been using it in the design and analysis of communication systems. There are a lot of models and blocks available in Simulink for this purpose which are really very helpful. The use of blocks to create the systems is of great help in visualising and understanding the concepts. It also has numerous options for plotting and analysis of the graphs. I have used Simulink a lot in my academic and related activities and projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
