Introduction
Simulink is a software
package that enables you to model, simulate, and analyze systems whose
outputs change over time. Such systems are often referred to as dynamic
systems. The Simulink software can be used to explore the behavior
of a wide range of real-world dynamic systems, including electrical
circuits, shock absorbers, braking systems, and many other electrical,
mechanical, and thermodynamic systems. This section explains how Simulink works.
Simulating a dynamic system is a two-step process. First, a
user creates a block diagram, using the Simulink model editor,
that graphically depicts time-dependent mathematical relationships
among the system's inputs, states, and outputs. The user then commands
the Simulink software to simulate the system represented by the
model from a specified start time to a specified stop time.
