Matrix Library for Simulink

A set of blocks for manipulating 3x3 and 4x4 matrices.

Description

Version 1.2 (JASP) 19-Jul-2009

A set of blocks for manipulating 3x3 and 4x4 matrices. In versions of Simulink prior to R12, matrices were handled in row-major form, thus the need for special blocks to handle matrices. Although Simulink can now handle arrays as signals, some users may still find the row-major approach useful.

There are two MATLAB functions provided to help manipulate the inputs and outputs of any Simulink model that uses the Matrix Library. These are:

    rm2mat - row major form to an array of 2-dim matrices
    mat2rm - array of 2-dim matrices to row major form

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 7.5 (R2007b)
• Other requirements: To run the unit tests in the "test" subdirectory, the test_tools toolbox is also needed. The test_tools toolbox should be available elsewhere on the MATLAB Central File Exchange.

NOTE: since R12, Simulink supports 2-D signals as matrices of any size in column major form.
