What Is Stateflow?

Stateflow is a graphical design and development tool that works with Simulink. Stateflow is a suitable environment for modeling logic used to control and supervise a physical plant modeled in Simulink.

Stateflow integrates with its Simulink environment to model, simulate, and analyze your system. Stateflow lets you design and develop deterministic, supervisory control systems in a graphical environment. It visually models and simulates complex reactive control to provide clear, concise descriptions of complex system behavior using finite state machine theory, flow diagram notations, and state-transition diagrams all in the same diagram. Stateflow brings system specification and design closer together. It is easy to create designs, consider various scenarios, and iterate until the Stateflow diagram models the desired behavior.
