Analyze Simulation Results
You can use the Simulation Data Inspector to visualize, analyze, and compare logged simulation data or data imported from the workspace or a file. With the Simulation Data Inspector, you can:
Plot data using a variety of visualization options.
Analyze data with cursors or by replaying the simulation results.
Compare individual signals or simulation runs.
The Simulation Data Inspector supports both interactive and programmatic workflows. Use the functions and objects to programmatically manage signals and runs, compare data, and customize your visualizations. To learn more, see Simulation Data Inspector.
Learn how to visualize and analyze results using the Simulation Data Inspector in the self-paced, interactive course Analyzing Results in Simulink, available through the Online Training Suite subscription or for individual purchase. (since R2024b)
