This course covers everything from the necessity of MBD in automotive software development to Simulink/Stateflow-based control modeling, MIL verification, and the code generation workflow. Rather than just teaching how to use blocks, it focuses on the practical professional workflow—implementing requirements into models, verifying them through simulation, and explaining how the generated C code integrates with actual ECU software structures.
Automotive MBD development flow: requirements, modeling, verification, and code generation
You can configure control logic based on models using Simulink and Stateflow.
You can understand the purpose of MIL verification and how to configure test scenarios.
You can distinguish the respective roles of MIL, SIL, PIL, and HIL in the V-cycle.
You can read the structure of C code generated by Embedded Coder and the perspective of ECU/BSW integration.
In automotive control software development, it can be understood that a model is not just a simple drawing, but an executable design asset.

Based on the DC Motor inverter control SWC example
Requirement analysis, defining Controller/Plant boundaries,
Simulink/Stateflow modeling, Unit Test/MIL verification,
Connect everything into a single flow, all the way to Embedded Coder code generation.
I am preparing for an automotive R&D role, but I have no idea how requirements translate into models and testing.
I've looked at Simulink a bit, but I don't know how to define the Controller/Plant boundaries and the SWC structure.
I want to see the flow that doesn't just end with modeling, but connects all the way to Unit Test/MIL verification and code generation.
Learn the practical MBD workflow by designing a requirements-based inverter control SWC.
• Systematically organize the entire workflow of automotive MBD development, from requirements analysis to modeling, verification, and code generation.
• You can understand what each stage of MIL, SIL, PIL, and HIL verifies, why they are necessary, and what roles they play in the development process.
• You can learn MATLAB/Simulink not just as a simple tool, but by connecting it to practical automotive software development.

Understand MBD based on the automotive SW development flow.
Automotive control software begins with requirements and leads to modeling, verification, and code generation. By first clarifying where MBD fits within the V-cycle, we enable an understanding of the actual flow of automotive development.
To implement actual vehicle control logic, you will practice state machine design using Stateflow, SWC (Software Component) development, and PI controller modeling. Additionally, you will experience each stage of the MBD development process through MIL verification scenario configuration and integrated simulation using vehicle and plant models.
You will learn how to implement requirements into actual executable design assets, going beyond simple modeling. By analyzing the structure of C code generated using Embedded Coder and understanding the perspective of integration with ECU/BSW, you can gain a clear understanding of how model-based development connects to actual mass-production software development.
Section 1
This lecture introduces the goals of the course and the overall workflow of automotive MBD (Model Based Design) development. Additionally, it completes the learning preparation, including the MATLAB/Simulink environment setup.
Section 2
Learn the Simulink/Stateflow-based modeling method and implement the state machine required for inverter control step-by-step. You will learn how control logic is represented as a model while configuring various operating states and transition conditions. Functional safety and ASIL will be summarized focusing on the conceptual flow necessary to understand before the hands-on practice.
Section 3
We perform requirement-based system architecture design, data management using SLDD, and modeling of various SW components such as CAN communication and PI controllers. This establishes the foundation for integrated modeling and verification.
Section 4
We configure SWC unit tests and MIL scenarios to verify inputs, expected outputs, and PASS criteria. We integrate the Controller with a simulation-only Plant to verify model behavior and check the C code generation results using Embedded Coder.
Those who have started learning MATLAB/Simulink but haven't yet grasped the flow of how MBD is actually used in automotive development
Engineers who want to organize from scratch how requirements, modeling, verification, and code generation are connected in sequence
Preparing for research and development roles at
automotive companies or parts suppliers,
Job seekers who want to understand the control software development process
Terms like V-cycle, SWC, Unit Test, MIL, and CodeGen
Those who want to understand the development workflow rather than just memorizing it.
Those who have experience in C code or firmware development, but
Engineers who are unfamiliar with Simulink/Stateflow-based modeling and code generation workflows
Controller/Plant boundaries, SWC structures, and verification scenarios
Those who want to organize their knowledge from the perspective of automotive control software
MATLAB/Simulink R2025b or a later version must be installed.
Windows 10/11 (64-bit) operating system is recommended.
A minimum of 8GB RAM and at least 20GB of storage space is recommended.
Prerequisites and Important Notes
You must be familiar with the basic usage of MATLAB/Simulink.
Basic knowledge of C language is required.
It is okay even if you have no prior experience with the MBD development process.
Learning Materials
Practice MATLAB model files provided in the lecture are available.
PDF lecture materials containing key concepts will be provided.
Who is this course right for?
Those who have basic knowledge of MATLAB/Simulink and MBD and wish to develop advanced capabilities by applying them to real-world projects.
Those who have learned MATLAB/Simulink but lack a sense of how it is actually used in real-world automotive MBD development.
Those who feel that MIL verification, code generation, and the V-cycle concept are disconnected and want to organize the overall flow.
Embedded software developers who want to expand into the field of automotive control/MBD.
Those who want to set a direction for their MBD portfolio while preparing for a job or career move in the automotive software field.
Need to know before starting?
It is helpful to have a basic understanding of programming concepts.
Understanding the concepts of functions, variables, and structures in C will help you understand the code generation part.
The explanation is designed so that even those seeing MATLAB/Simulink for the first time can follow along, but it will be easier if you are familiar with the basic interface layout and the concept of connecting blocks.

===== 26/06/28/Sun 13:07 ===== I learned about Simulink through your lecture. Unit testing and plant model implementation... It was my first time learning about these topics, so it was really great. Thank you for creating such a good lecture.
You've already finished the entire course! Haha. Thank you so much for taking the course and even leaving a review :)
