Bangalore, September 15, 2012: MathWorks has introduced Release 2012b with major updates to Matlab and Simulink that significantly improve use and navigation. The new Simulink Editor features tabbed windows, smart signal routing and simulation rewind while the Matlab Desktop now includes a toolstrip that offers quick access to frequently used features and a Matlab apps gallery. In addition, Release 2012b includes a redesigned help system with improved browsing, searching, filtering, and content organization.

The new user interface and features for Simulink enables faster, more cost-effective development of dynamic and embedded systems. The Simulink Editor simplifies modeling through capabilities such as tabbed model windows for improved window management, an Explorer bar for navigating model hierarchy, smart signal routing to determine optimal signal line path, and debugging capabilities that rewind simulations and set conditional breakpoints on signals.

R2012b also introduces Simulink Projects for managing project files and connecting to source control software, and support for running models on target hardware.

MathWorks has also updated the Matlab Desktop with two major enhancements:

• The MATLAB Toolstrip displays icons for the most frequently used Matlab features, such as selecting the best plot type for data.

• The apps gallery presents apps from the Matlab product family to allow users to perform common tasks without writing code.
