Hi Guys! I have trouble plotting .mat format files. The error message is "Unable to read MAT-file. Not a binary MAT-file. Try load -ASCII to read as text". Is there anyone can help why these files are unreadable and How they can be fixed? knowing, the files are Simulink outputs!
Thanks in advance,

That looks like it might be a real .mat file.
Is it possible that you are trying to load the file with a version of MATLAB older than R2006b ?
You can post the file on Google Drive or Dropbox for people to examine

I see 2 options:
- This is not the file you try to load. Maybe you are working in a different folder than you expect.
- The file is really damaged. Then it will be impossible to open it. This is the definition of "unreadable". Do you have a backup of the file or can you re-create it?
