What’s New in R2026a?

MATLAB R2026a is out there, let’s examine what’s new within the Simulink world.

New Context Menu

This one can’t be missed! We determined to modernize our right-click menu.

Here’s what it appears to be like like if you right-click on a Fixed block:

I’ve been utilizing this new menu for a lot of months now and it really works nicely for me. It takes a little bit little bit of getting used to, however general, I believe it is a good evolution.

See the launch notes for extra particulars.

Transfer In/Transfer Out

This one will save me so many clicks!

Choose blocks related to a Subsystem and transfer them in, in a single click on.

Choose blocks related to an Inport or Outport inside a subsystem and transfer them out, in a single click on.

Time Tolerance to enter Knowledge

All through the years, one weblog publish that I needed to discuss with extra typically than I would love is that this one: Utilizing Discrete Knowledge as an enter to your Simulink mannequin » Man on Simulink – MATLAB & Simulink.

To summarize: When you specify time factors for enter indicators which can be barely completely different from the time steps that Simulink takes, you’ll find yourself with skipped or duplicated factors.

This new function lastly solves this concern. Let’s revisit the instance from this outdated publish with and with out the function activated.

ts = 0.001;

t = (0:ts:10)’;

u = (1:size(t))’;

mdl = ‘testInputTol’;

in = repmat(Simulink.SimulationInput(mdl),2,1);

in(1) = in(1).setModelParameter(‘InputTimeTolerance’,‘off’);

in(2) = in(2).setModelParameter(‘InputTimeTolerance’,‘on’);

out = sim(in,‘ShowProgress’,‘off’);

determine;

subplot(2,1,1);

stem(abs(u-out(1).logsout.get(‘u’).Values.Knowledge));

title(“With out Time Tolerance”);

subplot(2,1,2);

stem(abs(u-out(2).logsout.get(‘u’).Values.Knowledge));

title(“With Time Tolerance”);

Minor associated addition: exterior enter sign can now include Inf and NaN.

Fast Accelerator is Rapider

I hope you realize that Simulink has a Fast Accelerator mode. The best way it really works is it compiles the mannequin into an executable, and that executable normally runs sooner than the interpreted mannequin.

One downside is that launching this executable takes 1-2 seconds. For very brief simulations, this may be vital. If you should run one million of these, it is 1-2 million seconds misplaced. In R2026a, this preliminary launch time has been considerably decreased, dashing up brief simulations.

Right here is an instance:

mdl = ‘vdp’;

Simulink.BlockDiagram.buildRapidAcceleratorTarget(mdl);

### Looking for referenced fashions in mannequin ‘vdp’.
### Complete of 1 fashions to construct.

kv = 1:0.1:1.9;

in = repmat(Simulink.SimulationInput(mdl),size(kv),1);

for i = 1:size(kv)

    in(i) = in(i).setVariable(‘ok’,kv(i));

    in(i) = in(i).setModelParameter(‘SimulationMode’,‘Fast’);

    in(i) = in(i).setModelParameter(‘RapidAcceleratorUpToDateCheck’,‘off’);

finish

out = sim(in,‘ShowProgress’,‘off’,‘UseFastRestart’,‘on’);

t = arrayfun(@(i) out(i).SimulationMetadata.TimingInfo.TotalElapsedWallTime,1:size(kv));

imply(t(2:finish))

ans = 0.3968

In older releases, the identical code provides me a mean execution time of two.3 seconds.

On a considerably associated matter, in R2026a, it additionally turns into attainable to simulate fashions with algebraic loops in Fast Accelerator mode.

Initialization Timing in Simulink Profiler

The Simulink Profiler now offers details about how compilation time is distributed amongst compilation phases and amongst referenced mannequin.

It is an enhanced model of the CompileStats captured by sldiagnostics. When you name technical help about issues with initialization efficiency, that is the very first thing we’ll ask you to take a look at.
