The MathWorks Automotive Advisory Board Updates Modeling Style Guidelines
The MathWorks announced version 2.0 of Control Algorithm Modeling Guidelines Using MATLAB, Simulink, and Stateflow.
These style guidelines were developed by The MathWorks Automotive Advisory Board (MAAB), a group of major automotive OEMs and suppliers dedicated to strengthening industry collaboration and facilitating the use of MathWorks tools and Model-Based Design within the automotive industry.
For this latest version of Control Algorithm Modeling Guidelines, Japanese, European, and North American MAAB members collaborated to develop nearly 30 new guidelines for design with MATLAB, Simulink, and Stateflow.
“For over 15 years, the world’s leading automotive companies have employed Model-Based Design with MATLAB, Simulink, and Stateflow to solve development and testing challenges in the areas of engineering analysis, modeling and simulation, rapid prototyping, automatic code generation, and system verification and validation,” said Jon Friedman, automotive industry marketing manager at The MathWorks. “The willingness of the automotive industry to join forces in extending the MAAB guidelines is a testament to the powerful and diverse benefits realized with Model-Based Design, including faster time to market, greater design predictability, improved communication with development partners, and overall cost efficiency.”
By leveraging these guidelines and extending them with company- or project-specific rules, automotive engineering teams can build and manage models for specification exchange, simulation, automatic code generation, documentation, and test definition. In addition, teams can generate designs that are reusable, easy to integrate, and consistent with proprietary or industry-standard guidelines.
