Architecture and Component Design

Design software systems by developing algorithms intended for generated code deployment, rapid prototyping, or real-time simulation

Use Simulink® and Simulink Coder™ to design models that you can use for rapid-prototyping, real-time simulation, or deploy and run as an application in a desktop or embedded target environment.

To avoid or minimize rework, in the Simulink Editor, construct models considering code generation from the beginning of the design process. Consider software design factors and issues, such as modeling styles for different scheduling scenarios, products and blocks that support code generation, code generation treatment of Simulink modeling semantics, and importing existing code.
