Spiral Design Process
When you work with tools from The MathWorks, your model represents your
understanding of your system. This understanding is passed from one phase of
modeling to the next, reducing the need to backtrack. In the event that rework
is necessary in a previous phase, it is easier to step back one or more phases,
because the same model and tools are used throughout.
A spiral design process allows quick iterations between phases, enabling
engineers to focus on design work. To do this cost-effectively, they need to use
tools that make it easy to move from one phase to another. For example, in a
matter of minutes a control system engineer or a signal processing engineer
