MathWorks announced MATLAB and Simulink Release 2026b, Release 2026b, and R2026b.

The release includes new additions of Simulink Variant Manager, Visual Inspection Toolbox, and Polyspace Test Server.

MathWorks said R2026b supports connections across design, simulation, testing, and deployment workflows to reduce time spent managing complexity and accelerate development.

MathWorks announced MATLAB and Simulink Release 2026b. The release name is Release 2026b, or R2026b. MathWorks said the release includes new products and major feature improvements.

The release includes new additions to R2026b: Simulink Variant Manager, Visual Inspection Toolbox, and Polyspace Test Server. It also brings enhancements in aerospace, embedded systems, AI, perception, audio engineering, and statistical analysis.

MathWorks said the release is focused on supporting engineering teams. It said the release is designed to help teams manage growing system complexity more effectively and speed up development before design, simulation, and deployment.

Simulink Variant Manager supports the management of increasing product variants across complex model and system architectures. Simulink Variant Manager strengthens consistency, traceability, and collaboration throughout the development process. This improves the efficiency of engineering teams developing product line- and platform-based designs.

Visual Inspection Toolbox combines AI and image processing. Visual Inspection Toolbox streamlines the development and deployment of appearance inspection applications for manufacturing and industrial environments.

Point Cloud Toolbox has been newly added. Point Cloud Toolbox expands workflows for LiDAR, camera, radar, and SLAM-based applications. This supports the development of advanced perception systems for sensor-based applications across robotics, automation, transportation, and more.

Polyspace Test Server supports automated testing of C/C++ embedded software and automated code coverage analysis in continuous integration environments. The goal is to improve software quality. Engineering teams can run unit tests, run integration tests, and perform structural coverage analysis on automated servers.

Avinash Nehemia, MathWorks' head of product management and marketing for design automation, said engineering organizations must simultaneously ensure quality, ensure compliance, and maintain development speed while developing advanced products that combine software, AI, electronics, and connected systems. Nehemia added that the capabilities in R2026b help connect design, simulation, testing, and deployment workflows, reducing the time needed to manage complexity and accelerating progress from concept to actual productization.
