MATLAB Workshop

This repository contains reusable workshop materials for an introductory MATLAB, Simulink, and System Composer training session.

The materials are organized as hands-on live scripts, MATLAB helper scripts, System Composer architecture examples, Simulink models, requirements artifacts, and verification assets.

Workshop Tracks

MATLAB Fundamentals

Matlab-Simulink/matlab.mlx introduces:

• The MATLAB desktop environment
• Basic MATLAB commands
• Live scripts
• MATLAB functions
• MATLAB projects and startup/shutdown workflows

Simulink Fundamentals

Matlab-Simulink/simulink.mlx introduces:

• Opening Simulink and using the Start Page
• Simulink Editor tabs
• Library Browser usage
• Running simulations
• Simulation Data Inspector
• Subsystems

System Composer Workshop

SystemComposer/SystemComposer_Start_Script.mlx is the main live script for the System Composer portion of the workshop.

The workshop uses a quadcopter case study and follows a Requirements, Functional, Logical, Physical architecture workflow. Topics include:

• Requirements definition and import
• Requirements linking and traceability
• Functional architecture creation
• Logical architecture modeling
• Profiles, stereotypes, allocations, and interfaces
• Simulink behavior integration
• Sequence diagrams
• Physical architecture views
• Variant components
• SWAP-c style mass, cost, and power analysis
• Architecture reports and web views
• Linking test cases to requirements

Requirements

Use a MATLAB installation with the products needed for the workshop materials, including:

• MATLAB
• Simulink
• System Composer
• Requirements Toolbox
• Simulink Test
• Simulink Report Generator

Some sections may require additional MathWorks products depending on the specific model or report-generation step being exercised.

Getting Started

1. Clone or download this repository.

2. Open MATLAB.

3. For MATLAB and Simulink fundamentals, open the live scripts in Matlab-Simulink/.

4. For the System Composer workshop, open:

   openProject("SystemComposer/SystemComposer_Workshop.prj")

5. When the project opens, the project startup script opens SystemComposer_Start_Script.mlx.

6. Follow the live script sections in order.

Main Entry Points

• Matlab-Simulink/matlab.mlx - MATLAB fundamentals
• Matlab-Simulink/simulink.mlx - Simulink fundamentals
• SystemComposer/SystemComposer_Workshop.prj - System Composer project
• SystemComposer/SystemComposer_Start_Script.mlx - main System Composer workshop guide
• SystemComposer/scripts/startup.m - project startup script

Notes for GitHub

This repository includes MATLAB project metadata, live scripts, models, requirements files, and generated workshop artifacts. If you want to keep the repository lightweight, consider excluding generated or temporary folders such as:

• derived/
• work/
• slprj/

Do not remove source workshop assets such as .mlx, .m, .prj, .slx, .slreqx, .sldd, .mldatx, or the provided workshop .zip files unless you are sure they are not needed.

Suggested Workflow

Run the workshop in this order:

1. MATLAB fundamentals
2. Simulink fundamentals
3. System Composer requirements definition
4. Functional architecture
5. Logical architecture
6. Physical architecture
7. Analysis and reporting
8. Verification and validation
