MATLAB SimEvents
Model and simulate message communication and discrete-event systems.
Overview
SimEvents is an add-on product for Simulink that provides tools for discrete-event simulation. It allows you to model and simulate event-driven systems, such as communication networks, hardware architectures, and manufacturing workflows. SimEvents integrates with the time-based environment of Simulink, enabling the simulation of hybrid systems that have both event-based and time-based components.
✨ Key Features
- Discrete-Event Simulation Engine
- Library of blocks for queues, servers, switches, etc.
- Integration with MATLAB and Simulink
- Hybrid system modeling (time-based and event-based)
- Statistical analysis and visualization
- Custom block creation with MATLAB
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Seamless integration with the powerful MATLAB and Simulink environments
- Strong capabilities for modeling and simulating hybrid time-based and event-based systems
- Leverages the extensive analytical and visualization tools of MATLAB
Unique Value: Extends the power of Simulink to model and analyze complex event-driven systems, enabling unified simulation of multi-domain systems.
🎯 Use Cases (5)
✅ Best For
- Modeling network protocols and analyzing latency
