SimDiff Review streamlines collaborative reviews of Simulink model changes, making it easier than ever for teams to inspect differences accurately and efficiently—without requiring every reviewer to have a Simulink license or endure lengthy setup delays.
Designed as a lightweight, focused edition of the SimDiff tool family, SimDiff Review lets users load and interactively explore Peer Review Files generated by SimDiff Workstation or SimDiff Automation. These self-contained files bundle precise model differences with embedded subsystem screenshots, delivering a rich, visual review experience directly in the tool or via quick browser previews.
Transform Your Model Review Process
Traditional Simulink model reviews often stall: reviewers must launch MATLAB/Simulink, resolve dependencies, wait for slow loads, and chase scattered comments in threads or spreadsheets. SimDiff Review eliminates these pain points.
With Peer Review Files, differences are computed once—either on a desktop or in a CI pipeline—and captured in a single, shareable file that includes:
Accurate structural and semantic diffs
Embedded visuals of affected subsystems
Full context for meaningful reviews
Reviewers can then:
Preview changes instantly in any browser—no Simulink required
Load the file into SimDiff Review for deeper interaction
Navigate differences interactively
Highlight specific changes
Add comments and audit individual diffs (blocks, lines, properties)
Track an auditable trail of reviews and updates
Save progress and re-share the same file
This enables true asynchronous, collaborative workflows: one engineer reviews a subset, adds notes, and passes it forward without disrupting projects, tweaking paths, or switching environments.
Key Benefits
No Simulink license needed for reviewers — View and explore models via the built-in Model Viewer
Frictionless onboarding — Fast browser previews lower the barrier for quick initial assessments
Self-contained and portable — One file captures everything: diffs + visuals + audit trail
Incremental and auditable — Natural commenting replaces messy spreadsheets or email chains
Tight feedback loops — Ideal for pull requests, compliance reviews, and handoffs in automotive, aerospace, defense, and other high-assurance domains
Async collaboration — Teams report quicker subsystem views, more natural auditing, and smoother PR threads
Early adopters in automotive, aviation, and rocketry praise how Peer Review Files make reviews flow: no more startup delays, stalled discussions, or lost context.
How It Works
Generate the Peer Review File using SimDiff Workstation or Automation (desktop or pipeline).
Attach the Peer Review File to your pull request, thread, or review process.
Reviewers download and preview changes in seconds via browser.
For full control, open in SimDiff Review to explore, comment, audit, and update.
Save and re-upload the enriched file—progress persists across the team.
SimDiff Review runs on Windows, Linux, or in Docker—no MATLAB/Simulink required for review or diff computation (though Simulink is needed to generate screenshots during initial file creation).
