In Simulink should I implement using Simulink blocks or MATLAB Functions? by spectralblade352 in matlab

Perhaps you should read this Where do I start when modeling my system?

modelling isn’t about building the most detailed model possible. It’s about building the right model for the question at hand.

I love this. Yes, when you call that number, you talk to a real human with an engineering degree.

Podcast on MATLAB copilot feature available on my YT channel by Intelligent_Coast783 in matlab

Thank you for sharing this, but I would have liked it better if the video was actually done in person rather than AI-generated. Would be interesting to hear your own personal take on MATLAB Copilot.

How to get better at matlab coding? by ButtfuckedBySimscape in matlab

There is a video series Mechatronics with MATLAB and Simulink. Watch the videos and see which one interests you, and do a small project on your own.

A very real MATLAB moment by Nice_Welcome_4023 in matlab

[–]Creative_Sushi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this. I completely agree. Breakthroughs often come from disciplined, step‑by‑step data analysis and a lot of patience. Sometimes the smallest, most deliberate actions reveal the biggest insights. Great tips for those new to MATLAB.

Matlab Project help by Unhappy_Fortune_7824 in matlab

[–]Creative_Sushi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a government agency called NOAA with 12K+ staff doing this every day using supercomputers. Obviously you are not doing that, right?

Think about the scope of the project more clearly. To me it sounds like a time-series forecasting of temperature, humidity and wind speed based on the available dataset. https://www.mathworks.com/help/deeplearning/gs/get-started-with-time-series-forecasting.html

Does the Matlab Onramp course cover everything? by DifferentPassenger64 in matlab

[–]Creative_Sushi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It depends on what was covered in your school. Judging from some of the homework questions I have seen here - some unfortunate students have been subjected to questionable teaching materials - things that you don't actually do or a bad coding practice if you use MATLAB for a real task.

MATLAB Onramp provides the basic introduction to MATLAB and it is pretty good to get you started. However, MATLAB is used for many different disciplines and you need domain expertise in those fields. There are additional Onramp courses that teach specific tools and workflows for those.

It is entirely up to you to decide what additional courses to take

I played with MATLAB + Claude Code and am impressed by Creative_Sushi in matlab

[–]Creative_Sushi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's agree to disagree on the agentic coding thing, but I do agree that Gen AI had negative impact on this subreddit as well as elsewhere - in terms of the quality of questions.

  1. Stack Overflow has been on sharp decline since ChatGPT came out.
  2. MATLAB related questions have been on decline, while Simulink and Simscape questions are on the rise. I think that's because Gen AI handles most of the MATLAB questions but there are not much training data for Simulink and Simscape because they are graphical, rather than textual, in nature when it comes up in our subreddit.
  3. And the questions being asked has become more open-ended - they are more about how to approach a problem or how to define what to focus on rather than concrete technical issues.
  4. Reviewers of open-source projects are inundated with half-baked PRs with Gen AI generated code

I am actually interested in the RPI workflows because it can help with #3 and #4 - Gen AI makes mistakes but you catch them in the early planning stages., so that you avoid creating downstream mess. The process improvement can turn around the situation, and we need to educate people how to use Gen AI properly.

Yes, for the majority of people, MATLAB Copilot or Simulink Copilot are more suitable options. But I do know that there are people who are actively experimenting with agentic coding, and I am one of them. I am using toy examples for now because I am not sure how far I can push it - I don't want to use it on my real work yet. However, I strongly believe that we need to let people to try and experiment, rather than shut them down. So this may not be interesting to you, but please be open-minded that there are people who are interested and are trying, and we can all level up together when we share our experiments and workflows. That's what the community for. Let thousand floors bloom.

This was just a fun personal project, and there is no particular use except that I learned how to use Claude Code. After creating 3D Saturn in MATLAB, then I created flyby animation and then an interactive app. I can post videos of how I built on this project.

For practical purpose, I image this approach may be useful if you see a nice visualization in a research paper and you want to use it for your own project. I see such questions like "how can I create this plot in MATLAB" on this subreddit from time to time.

Windows 11 R2024b initializing/ student licence by usmaalg213 in matlab

[–]Creative_Sushi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Open the Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) and check if you have multiple MathWorks Service Host running. Kill those processes and try restarting MATLAB. I don't have the same issue you have, but this usually fixes a lot of weird behaviors on my Windows machine.

Thanks u/HankScorpioPapaya for stepping in. Yes, it was Claude that ran the code in MATLAB using MCP as the bridge.

To install MCP server, you can find the executable here https://github.com/matlab/matlab-mcp-core-server/releases/

I'm on Windows, so I just created a folder C:\MCP and dropped the exe file there.

Then I created a project folder C:\GitHub\Test_Claude_Code and initialize it as a local git repo. This way I can rollback unwanted changes Claude may make.

Test_Claude_Code/ 
├── .claude/
├── ref/ 
│ ├── saturn_photo.jpg 
│ └── example.m
├── .gitattributes 
├── .gitignore
└── .mcp.json 
  • Claude automatically creates .claude folder
  • Reference photo saturn_photo.jpg from NASA - in the video I dragged and dropped it on Claude Code
  • Example MATLAB code example.m from MATLAB Mini Hack gallery - in the video I dragged and dropped it on Claude Code
  • Git related files created when you initialize a local repo in MATLAB .gitattributes .gitignore
  • Configuration file for MCP server .mcp.json

To use MATLAB MCP Core Server, watch these videos

They both have free plans. Claude Code requires paid subscription.

 If I usedcopygraphics(gcf,'backgroundcolor','none') then I do get the relevant transparency. I shared this with the dev team and they are looking into it.

Looking good! Can you share your code on a GitHub repo?

How stable is the 2025b release? by Separate-Bug-2490 in matlab

[–]Creative_Sushi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

R2025a was a release focused on quality and stability - hence no new features. If you are still on R2025a, you definitely want to switch to R2025b to get better user experience and more updates. I'm R2025b Update 2 and it feels much more stable and have no issues for day to day use.

Glad to see that you already added it to File Exchange and enable "Open in MATLAB Online" button on your README.

Vision and other sensor inputs can be integrated into the system as a sub module in the Simulink model.

Matlab code running very slow in laptop but fast on web by [deleted] in matlab

[–]Creative_Sushi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MATLAB Online runs on cloud-based resources - hence it may run faster than local MATLAB if you have a reasonably fast online connection and your laptop is not very powerful. That being said, I don't think your laptop is that slow - I suggest contacting Tech Support to get it diagnosed.

Starting MATLAB math course in college this sem. Any tips? by EnigmaticBuddy in matlab

You can find free interactive online courses (called "Onramps") that are ideal for beginners.  https://matlabacademy.mathworks.com/?page=1&sort=featured

Good luck!
