Simulation question
Simulation question
(OP)
I'm designing a wheeled robot and I'm just wondering what add-ins and products from MATLAB and Simulink would be useful. The websites tout a lot about their abilities but not much about their limitations so I was hoping to get some input from someone who had done something similar in the past.

Where I get confused, is finding the right applications to do just that.
For the Simulations side:
I get that I need Matlab, and I think I need Simulink. But do I need SimEvent as well? It kinda seems like Simulink can do SimEvent, but I have no experience with that.
On the stats side:
What applications do I need mainly for nonlinear, non polynomial curve fitting?
What distributions are inside of Matlab? When it says basic statistics and curve fitting, what does that entail? Does this include some basic distributions such as a Gaussian, Binomial, T, etc... What additional capabilities would having the statistics toolbox have in relation to that?

That's not something that Matlab will do readily. You should be doing that in your mechanical design program, or possibly exporting the mechanical structure into another program like CARSIM:
