@@homejonny9326 hi Jonny, sure! In general, you would do a simulation to observe something changing over time. For example -- if your system was purely in static equilibrium (like a truss bridge) there wouldn't be much to simulate. But if you had a changing number of cars going over the bridge through time, then you could calculate all the truss beam forces over time due to changing loads. You could do a similar simulation with a mass spring system and show how it reaches static equilibrium. What type of example did you have in mine?

[@philparisi_]

@@homejonny9326 sounds like a blast! In one of my mechE undergrad classes, we would solve all the equations by hand to the end (a final expression for whichever variable of interest) and then could plug that final form into MATLAB. MATLAB's toolboxes are very specific to certain applications, there's no general 'sim' toolbox for what you're looking to do. Of course, there is simulink but that would be more than you're looking for I think. I suggest solving for final forms and then plugging those into MATLAB with initial conditions and letting to system 'run'! Enjoy the journey and don't hesitate to reach out if you want advice on any sims... I could be convinced to make a video on a specific example :)

Hi Phil, I'm an advanced C, C#, C++ programmer and I'm enjoying the tour of MatLab very much. Thanks.

[@philparisi_]

Hi Joe! Thanks for the note. Ironically, I’m doing the reverse (advanced MATLAB user, now learning c++). Matlab is incredibly user friendly in comparison, not needing pointers and datatypes in declarations and so forth. But that also makes Matlab much slower as all numbers are saved as doubles, and function calls typically create copies (pointers and references arent really a thing).

Any plans for a simulink tutorial? Would love to use it for talking to hardware! Like auto-generating/deploying algorithms on an FPGA, or Microcontroller then running a Hardware/Processor-In-The-Loop to optimize a PID control loop. Or use a USB to Can-Bus to do canbus applications (ex. CanOpen). And create user GUIs so that the end user doesn't need to do everything via command-line. BTW, any thoughts how the Matlab's algorithms for object detection, compare to open source alternatives (OpenCV, tensorflow, etc)?

[@philparisi_]

Hi Ben, nothing in the pipeline for SimuLink yet, admittedly I haven’t used it much in my line of work. MATLAB GUIs will definitely be a topic covered soon. Regarding MATLAB vs OpenCV… there’s different schools of thought and varying opinion. Your biggest choice here is if you want/need to integrate with other languages and systems opencv is probably more ‘accessible’ in that regard whereas MATLAB stays in MATLAB land (though this is also improving with python integration and so forth). Also, if you are doing a very specific task that requires a function that only one platform has, that’ll choose your platform for you haha. Lastly, MATLAB will likely be easier to use out of the box and has better documentstion. Opencv has a poor history of ill-managed versions, naming conflicts, etc etc and I’ve never heard someone say “OpenCV is great”.

Hello thanks for your work it's great indeed. What I want to ask you is that is it possible to simulate an enviroment where a couple of numbers of (i.e. 5 or 6) blue and red forces of tanks engaging in a battle and determine who wins at the end? Could you please help me with that?

[@philparisi_]

Hi Ali, yes you can! It takes some cleverness. Let's start with two tanks battle along a 1 Dimensional axis (call it x). You can spawn the tanks in random positions along x and set other initial conditions. Then, you'd develop a couple of simple actions the tank could take. For example, move position in x, move angle of gun, set launch speed, etc. These would be the 'tank actions'. You also need a calculation for 'hitting' the target. Based on the launch speed, angle of the gun, and position in x, you can use the range equation (basic kinematics) to determine where the missile will hit. Then you can define a nearby radius so anything within +/-5% of the missile's landing location counts as a 'hit'. With all those things set, you can run a for loop to simulate 'rounds' of the game. Each round, a tank takes actions and then fires. Then the next tank does the same. You can make it so that the game waits for the user (you) to input actions each loop (i.e. where do you want the tank to move to, angle of gun, launch speed, etc.). Or, you can have those pre-programmed at the start and the actions will be iterated through every loop. You would want to setup the tanks as 'structures' instead of normal variables to keep them cohesive. You would have tankA.angle, tankA.health, tankA.position, tankA.launchspeed and the same for tankB. This way you could keep updating the 'struct' and continue the battle easily. Hope this helps! I have videos on making your own functions, for loops, and structures. I suggest you start with this playlist and then scroll thru my videos for the topics I mentioned kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6W4dJqkaLlsm6c

[@aliosmanbayir6009]

@@philparisi_ Hello sir, Thank you for your quick feedback. I think my problem might be much simpler than that because my teacher told me to give each of the tanks a kill rate (i.e kill rate=0.6 for BlueTank which means there is a 60% of chance that BlueTank can destroy the enemy 60 times in every 100 shots) and then make them a shot and wait for the enemy to do so and so on. Example scenerio: TankBlue fires, if it misses he'll wait for 20-30 seconds to fire again but at the same time redTank fires (it also has a kill rate) and after the shot he'll also wait 10-20 seconds (this waiting time can be determined by me) until one of them kills the other. I don't know how to make a decent beginning to this.

[@philparisi_]

@@aliosmanbayir6009 indeed, this is much simpler! Ok, understanding your assumptions: - one hit = one tank destroyed (no health to be lost, simply gets shot and then is done) I suggest you setup a for loop not as rounds as I previously mentioned, but as 'time'. initialize tank_time = 0; before the for loop, then every loop increment tank_time = tank_time + 1; This way you can track time and set flags for when the tanks should shoot. Define the delay time to shoot for both tanks at the start of the script. Then in the for loop, check if tank_time is an even multiple of the delay_time. For example, if tank_time = 40 and tank_delay = 20, then the tank knows to shoot. You can do division and check the remainder :) Then, when it's time for a tank to shoot, you must roll a random variable, you can probably use rand(1) in your case, which will generate a random uniform variable between 0 and 1. You should check if rand_var > 0.6 (or whatever the appropriate threshold is) and if it is true, the game ends (use a break statement to get out of the loop). If the rand_var is < 0.6, the game simply continues on to the next loop. time progresses and the next tank fires when the tank_delay is reached.

[@philparisi_]

100% yes. Made this video right before chat came out. Will be making content on how to use chatGPT for MATLAB

[@tasnimsarker4653]

Hi, i am in begainer level of Matlab. Can you please suggest me a book for matlab learning?

[@philparisi_]

Hi Tasnim, I recommend some of MATLAB’s free courseware (not a book exactly, but another way to learn). matlabacademy.mathworks.com/details/matlab-onramp/gettingstarted matlabacademy.mathworks.com/details/matlab-fundamentals/mlbe

[@tasnimsarker4653]

Thanks for your quick reply. Can you please make the front size a little big in matlab videos? Inside the comman window. It will be good to look big fronts.

[@philparisi_]

Absolutely - thank you for the feedback!

@@philparisi_ hey Phil. I'm going to learn a lot from you mate. I'm running for my PhD and need to learn Matlab. Been watching several videos on KZbin but yours was the best. Keep the good work man. I'll watch all of your Matlab videos and perhaps anything you'll upload in future. 🌹

@@alimoradi2323 rock on!!! Very exciting and congrats on your pursuit of a PhD. I, too, am making my way through graduate school. If there are specific topics you are looking for, definitely let me know by commenting or posting on the community board of the page. An image processing series debuts next week, too.

@@philparisi_ well, recently, I tried to code the Lagrange equation. But it was a bit confusing. So I downloaded an precoded from Matlab community and I've found it interesting example to analyze and learn from. It would be nice to make a video about it.
