schematic()

Visualization

schematic() is a MATLAB®-compatible visualization function for generate an svg schematic of a physical system with labeled component values. supports 10 system types: 'spring-mass-damper', 'pendulum', 'damped-pendulum', 'rlc-circuit', 'coupled-masses', 'rotational', 'dc-motor', 'thermal', 'tank', 'double-pendulum'. Run it online in your browser with SimLab — free, no install, no license required.

Frequently Asked Questions about schematic()

Is the schematic() function free to use in SimLab?

Yes. SimLab is 100% free — no signup, no license, and no usage limits. You can run schematic() and 510+ other MATLAB®-compatible functions directly in your browser at simulations4all.com/simlab.

Do I need to install MATLAB to use schematic()?

No. SimLab runs entirely in your web browser with zero installation. The schematic() function works without any MATLAB® license or software download.

What does schematic() do?

Generate an SVG schematic of a physical system with labeled component values. Supports 10 system types: 'spring-mass-damper', 'pendulum', 'damped-pendulum', 'rlc-circuit', 'coupled-masses', 'rotational', 'dc-motor', 'thermal', 'tank', 'double-pendulum'. It is a MATLAB®-compatible visualization function available in SimLab with the same calling syntax as MATLAB® — typically: schematic('spring-mass-damper', struct('m', 2, 'c', 0.5, 'k', 10)).

Can I run schematic() in my browser?

Yes. Open SimLab at simulations4all.com/simlab, write or paste code that calls schematic(), and run it. Execution happens locally in your browser — no data leaves your machine.
