Simulink® Control Design™

Beginning a New Linearization Task

The Control and Estimation Tools Manager provides a graphical environment for performing, and managing, control and estimation tasks such as linearization and compensator design. Within this environment you can create projects which can include several tasks, including Simulink^® Parameter Estimation™ tasks and Model Predictive Control Toolbox™ tasks, when they are installed.

To open a new project within the Control and Estimation Tools Manager for linearization of the magball model, select Tools > Control Design > Linear Analysis from the magball window. The Control and Estimation Tools Manager opens and creates a new linearization task, as shown in the following figure.

The left pane of the Control and Estimation Tools Manager shows the project tree, which contains all your current projects. At this stage you should have just one project, Project - magball. Select a node within the tree to display its contents in the pane on the right.
