MathWorks MATLAB and Simulink Release 2021b

MathWorks has introduced Release 2021b of the MATLAB and Simulink design software product families. R2021b offers hundreds of additional and updated features and functions, along with two new products and five major updates.

Added capabilities in MATLAB include code refactoring and block editing, as well as the ability to run Python commands and scripts from MATLAB. Simulink updates enable users to run multiple simulations for different scenarios from the Simulink Editor and to create custom tabs in the Simulink Toolstrip.

R2021b also introduces products supporting wireless communications: RF PCB Toolbox enables the design, analysis and visualisation of high-speed and RF multilayer printed circuit boards (PCBs), while Signal Integrity Toolbox provides functions and apps for designing high-speed serial and parallel links.

The release also includes major updates to Symbolic Math Toolbox, Lidar Toolbox, Simulink Control Design and other products in the areas of deep learning, reinforcement learning, predictive maintenance, statistics and machine learning.
