Features
Everyone has access to MATLAB’s cloud-based tools for instruction.
Access the above via the MathWorks/Fordham portal
Simulink is a graphical programming environment for modeling, simulating and analyzing multidomain dynamical systems. Its primary interface is a graphical block diagramming tool and a customizable set of block libraries. It offers tight integration with the rest of the MATLAB environment and can either drive MATLAB or be scripted from it.
