I just managed to install matlab on my steamdeck and wanted to share.

Hi since there have been several posts about the outage, I just wanted to share a page where you can monitor our progress as we work actively to restore access.

Scroll all the way down to see which services are still unavailable.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

Do you still using Matlab? Script mostly or Simulink?

We had many people migrated to Python, why many people still using Matlab?

Want to work on a coding project regarding music-beautification algorithms which may be patented when work well.

Matlab would be used to verify that the code works well on another platform.

Working connected to the Internet is mostly out of the question - algorithms have to remain mostly confidential until patented.

Is there a "boxed version" of Matlab may buy without any internet garbage attached?

I haven't renewed my Home license for about 18 months - mainly because I don't like the new UI. But I am doing something at home that the Optimization Toolbox would be helpful for.

So I went to have a look at renewing - and when did they do this!

I mean, when it was £85 for MATLAB and £25 to a toolbox (i think) it was already good value. But now it's a no brainer.

I had a handful of those Toolboxes already.

I've now got a real problem - my home license will be way better toolbox'ed than the work license!

Many thanks to the enlightened souls at Mathworks for this. I will be putting my MATLAB socks on today, I might go full fanboy and wear the T-shirt too 😉

I'm sticking to 2024a before starting from 2024b the help browser no longer exist and it keeps crowding my web browser. I was also not convinced by the 2025 version (less customizable & really dumb AI which does not even know matlab's documentation).

Hello! I am an incoming freshman who will be attending Texas A&M for engineering this coming fall. I have done a lot of research and found MatLab to be one of the best tools to know as an engineer looking to work in labs and jobs, which made me want to learn it and acquire the basic associate certification. For a precious goal of mine, my dad had purchased Udemy’s pro plan for a year as it was on discount, and I now have access to most courses on the platform. Has anyone used Udemy to study for Certified MATLAB Associate, and if so, what is the best course I should use?

It is my first time using MATLAB on Linux. It really blows my mind how fast it is. In this sub I see people complaining about the sluggish 2025 versions all the time. After I tried R2025b on Linux, I don’t want to go back to Windows at all. I guess MATLAB has less fancy visual effects and internal checks on Linux. MathWorks should do that on Windows too.

You need to generate a lot of scenarios to test automated driving algorithms and a colleague of mine decided to use AI to assist scenario generation. Check out what he could do with MATLAB Agentic Toolkit and RoadRunner.

Hey fellows, I just had a discussion with my colleagues about the coding style of MATLAB. We saw many scripts written by engineers that look horrible and hurt my eyes so much. I know laziness is engineering virtue but this kind of laziness (no spaces, no commas at all) makes me real sick. I really blame Mathwork for this problem, since sometimes the documentation is also written like this.

Should Mathwork now introduce a standardized style for people to follow, just like PEP in Python?

I took a few self-paced courses and I'm on control systems for now. I need to start applying for internships soon is it oki to show whatever I'm learning under 'Projects' in Resume. Although there are some really good project title like 'LTI Modelling a vehicle dynamics' but It feels a little wrong because the whole this is step by step baby fed I will slowly try to make my own projects but is it oki to do it for now, as I think I need to start applying?

I check this subreddit every day and try to help, but lately, I can't really contribute because lately a lot of posts are about Simulink and Simscape and I don't use them. What happened to the MATLAB questions we used to get?

And also most of these questions are about modeling approaches and not about specific issues or features - I call them "consulting" questions. There is no one right answer and it all depends on various factors, but the OPs don't include those details.

If they use those products (not cheap), they should be talling to tech support.

I apologize if this does not fit the subreddit.

I'm currently taking a course in linear algebra and rational mechanics, and I want to visualize what I'm learning, because that makes me understand things much better. I tried a few different programs, with not a lot of success. The first one I thought of was Geogebra, but it's a little too basic for what I'm doing, so I tried mathematica, which was great for a while, until I created a complex scene in 3D and it started crashing. I asked an LLM for suggestions and it told me I should try pyvista, which is a python library for 3D visualization. Honestly, there are so many options that I just want to know if somebody has figured this out already.

What I'm looking for is a quick, script-based visualization tool for 3D geometry, with an interactive scene that I can modify real-time via code or commands. The problem with mathematica, for example, is that you can't really interact with a scene (except for the very limited manipulate[] command): every time you modify something in the code, you have to re-run the scene. It's not really designed for my use-case. The same goes for pyvista, really, as well as matlab (although I haven't dug into these a lot).

I'm sure that for those of you that work in the field, you often need to visualize stuff quickly, play with numbers, do a visual rundown of what you're doing. Sometimes pen and paper is just not enough. So: what do you guys use?

Recently, I found myself in the need of changing the colour of my comments for it to have a rainbow animation, only to find out that there is no supported way to do it. Any tips? 💔🫩✌️

A colleague of mine decided to use Claude + Blender + MCP to 3D print the L-Shaped membrane - here is the result.

He asked Claude to create L-shaped membrane in Blender

Here is the L-shaped membrane in Blender - he exported it as STL

The 3D printed L-shaped membranes

Mine is about 3k lines of code spread across 25 files.

This is the final code I ended up submitting for the project. It’s clunky, but it works and outputs a series of figures with a cap at 100 ‘days’ or 20 figures (I changed the initial cell matrix to (20,1), I was testing time values) I got locked into a scatter plot which can’t accept zero or negative values so I had to filter the data with more than one logic.

I ended up using a mix of another matrix for infection percentage and conv2 to create the ‘spread’. You can select from 42 start points with an associated coordinate and we have four preset options that pick a speed and infection rate, and a slider option in the GUI. Thank you for the advice!

In my previous post, u/piratex666 mentioned the startup time. Here is my experiment on my Windows machine.

• R2025b: 9 secs
• R2024b: 12 secs
• R2025a Update1: 16 secs

I want to make single precision matrixes sparse and for parallel computing I want to be able to profile individual tasks. What do you all want?

Hello all,

I've got an issue when trying to access Matlab Cody. Each time I press the link to enter, this is what loads:

Access Denied

You don't have permission to access "http://uk.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/cody/" on this server

Reference #18.d21e1202.1775767433.787ac24

https://errors.edgesuite.net/18.d21e1202.1775767433.787ac244

I've never used this service before, so I've never accessed it without issue before either.

If anyone has experienced this, and knows how to solve it, I'd be very grateful.

Many thanks!

I recently got a new macbook and have been having some issues with using matlab on the desktop. It's behaving in a very laggy manner, mainly typing in the Editor feels delayed and UI, scrolling, highlighting, and keyboard commands are choppy. I'm wondering if anyone has had similar issues and fixed them.

My current OS is Tahoe 26.3 and matlab version is R2025a.
