How to Make an Interactive App in MATLAB

Discover the potential of MATLAB’s App Designer, a built-in environment for creating custom apps that requires no experience with software development. This step-by-step guide on how to create an interactive app provides the tools necessary to design a well-organized user interface and efficiently code the app’s behavior using airfoil design and analysis as an example. Review key fluid mechanics concepts necessary for following along with the rest of the video, such as the definition of airfoil, lift and Reynolds number. Master the art of creating a well-structured user interface in App Designer’s ‘design view’ with containers like tab groups and panels, components like numeric edit fields and buttons, and spaces for displaying results like axes and text areas. Understand how to dictate the app’s behavior in App Designer’s ‘code view’. This can be accomplished with built-in features like callbacks, properties, and functions, which seamlessly work together in an object-oriented programming environment for simple and efficient programming. Combining the two essential elements of app design, user interface and app behavior, App Designer provides an intuitive yet professional environment for creating customized apps and tools that anyone can use. Stay tuned until the end of the video to see the finished airfoil design and analysis app, in addition to examples of even more sophisticated apps that were created with the very same tools taught here.
