Once upon a time you struggled to use Simulink; now you can put together a sensible model without much thought on the implementation. What was most helpful for mastering Simulink? Favorite books, Mathworks training, Mathwork's demos or webinars, cranking through modeling problems for work/class, a smart coworker, or...? How many years did it take before you felt comfortable using Simulink?

Walter, if you cannot get Simulink to work, I am afraid for my own prospects.

We happen to fall in to the full-price category, so we simply never had the money for Simulink or any of the cool toolboxes.

As a beginner, here are the resources that I have found useful in order of utility or my knowledge level:
  1. Following a RSS feed of Answers with tag:Simulink; posting questions when stuck
  2. Downloading the PDF version of Simulink manuals and annotating using Acrobat's typewriter tool
  3. Reading archive of Guy and Seth's Simulink blog
  4. Attending a free Simulink training class offered in my area
  5. Emailing Tech Support for questions specific to my model (requiring mdl file)
  6. Mathworks' Simulink tutorial, videos, pre-recorded webinars, and notes
  7. Tutorials from Phil Goddard
  8. Reading an overview of best practices (can make aspects of an existing model comply using this tool)

1% From Work
99% From Simulink documentation and Practice...Practice...Practice.....

The documentation provided with simulink itself is sufficient for learning it to extreme level. I have not found any good book on simulink.

Yes, I think the world needs a Simulink version of the books 'Mastering Matlab' and 'Elements of Matlab Style'.

The only problem am encountering is how to analyse the output signal

The software is a closed loop, bad representation of examples and old user interface design of its website. You will have to spend a lot of time to learn something but might not actually get anything out. What a tragedy for Engineering.

Is there any site to get Matlab Webinar/seminar? And how can one participate in Matlab coding competition?
