Summary of R2006a New Features

SimEvents

SimEvents was introduced as a new product via Web, after R14SP3. Version

1.1, which is included in R2006a, includes the following new feature:

• Support for partial replication in the Replicate block

SimMechanics

• New block dialog boxes now compatible with Simulink Model Explorer

• Model Reference code generation now compatible with variable step solvers

• Improved CAD translation

• SolidWorks CAD translator now compatible with SolidWorks versions 2004-

2006

SimPowerSystems

• Average value models implemented for two more blocks in Electric Drives

library

• Transformer blocks with SI units now available

• Open Circuit option added for the RLC blocks

• Several new demos and enhancements to existing demos

Simulink Control Design

• Design compensators directly in a Simulink model. Simulink Control Design

automatically analyzes the model and identifies open and closed loop

systems with which to populate an enhanced version ofthe Control System

Toolbox SISO Design Tool.

• Tune multiloop compensators in a single environment that allows the effects

of coupling between feedback loops to be immediately understood.

• Tune blocks using both block parameters (for example, PID gains) or

zero-pole-gain representations.

• Tune compensators in a control system using all of the graphical and

automated design tools associated with the Control System Toolbox SISO

Design Tool and Simulink Response Optimization.
