MathWorks Release 2026b Turns MATLAB and Simulink Into a Workbench for Software Defined Hardware
R2026b adds simulation, verification, variant, and AI adjacent tooling for engineers whose products now blend code, circuits, and sensors.
- Treat variants as engineering artifacts, not spreadsheet side quests, when one hardware platform supports multiple product configurations.
- Move verification earlier, especially where models, generated code, sensors, and embedded targets must agree.
- Use AI assisted tooling cautiously, keeping review discipline around safety critical or hardware dependent workflows.
