Overview
This chapter illustrates how Simulink software can model
a dynamic control system, using an example that simulates the thermodynamics
of a house. The system models the outdoor environment, the thermal
characteristics of the house, and the house heating system.
This chapter allows you to explore common Simulink modeling
tasks, including:
Grouping multiple blocks in a model into a single subsystem,
simplifying the block diagram
Customizing the appearance of blocks using the masking
feature
Simulating a model and observing the results using
a Scope block
Changing the input parameters of the model to investigate
how the system responds
Importing data from the MATLAB workspace into
a model before simulation
Exporting simulation data from the model back to the MATLAB workspace
