Simulink

Is a software package for modeling, simulating, and analyzing dynamic systems. Supports linear and nonlinear systems, modeled in continuous time, sample time, or a hybrid of the two. For modeling, it provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for building models as block diagrams (using click-and-drag mouse operations) You can simulate, analyze the output results, explore, revise your models.

Example 1:Differential Equations

Example of a dynamic system:

The Mathematical model of the system is describe by:

1 x Bx Kx f t M
Lets M=2kg; B = 2 Ns/m; K=2 N/m

1 x 2 x 2 x f t 2

Creating Subsystems

Subsystem similar to Subroutine Advantage of Subsystems:

Reduce the number of blocks display on the main window (i.e. simplify the model) Group related blocks together (i.e. More organized) Can create a hierarchical block diagram (i.e. you can create subsystems within a subsystem ) Easy to check for mistakes and to explore different parameters
