In Simulink, there is a function called Saturation:

Is there function like that in Mathematica? If yes, what is it called?

Look up Clip[]. – J. M.'s missing motivation Apr 13 '18 at 09:38
@J.M. exactly what I was looking for! :) but why this name? I was not able to find it no matter how much I searched. – Foad Apr 13 '18 at 09:39

It's called Clip because it clips. Like Rescale because it rescales; like Sort because it sorts; like... – Henrik Schumacher Apr 13 '18 at 09:44
For me, a "saturation function" should look more like the logistic function (LogisticSigmoid)... – Henrik Schumacher Apr 13 '18 at 09:47

Honestly, I hate the Simulink function name, but I guess that's the preferred term of art in that system. Clip[], as Henrik notes, does exactly what it says on the tin. – J. M.'s missing motivation Apr 13 '18 at 09:51

@Henrik, for that application, I'd combine Rescale[] and LogisticSigmoid[]. ;) – J. M.'s missing motivation Apr 13 '18 at 09:52
Thanks guys for your help. I guess that I was biased towards that naming because of undergrade MATLAB requirements.... – Foad Apr 13 '18 at 09:53
My question has been answered but the duplicate flag is wrong. My question is not the same as the one mentioned though the answer is the same. – Foad Apr 13 '18 at 09:57
