Frequently Asked Questions about duration()
Is the duration() function free to use in SimLab?
The browser workspace requires no MATLAB® license or installation. Connected features require network access and may have account, tier, availability, or usage limits. You can open duration() and 510+ other MATLAB®-compatible function references at simulations4all.com/simlab.
Do I need to install MATLAB to use duration()?
No. SimLab’s core parser, workspace state, and most functions run locally in your browser. The duration() function requires no MATLAB® license or desktop software download.
What does duration() do?
Construct a duration from explicit hours, minutes, seconds. For single-unit durations use years/months/days/hours/minutes/seconds/milliseconds. It is a MATLAB®-compatible date & time function available in SimLab with the same calling syntax as MATLAB® — typically: duration(H, M, S).
Can I run duration() in my browser?
Yes. Open SimLab at simulations4all.com/simlab, write or paste code that calls duration(), and run it. This function’s calculation runs locally in the browser. SimLab session analytics, sharing, feedback, and eligible acceleration have separate network boundaries.
