Steps for Linearizing Models Using the GUI

The main steps to linearize a model using the Simulink Control Design GUI are as follows:

1. Create or open a model. See Creating or Opening a Simulink Model.

2. Create a new linearization task on the Control and Estimation Tools Manager. See Creating a Linearization Task.

3. Specify an operating point for the model. See Creating Operating Points.

4. (optional) Specify the linearization settings and method. See Choosing Linearization Settings and Algorithms.

5. (optional) Configure how specific blocks and subsystems in your model linearize. See Configuring the Linearization of Specific Blocks and Subsystems.

6. Insert linearization input and output points in the model. See Selecting Inputs and Outputs for the Linearized Model.

7. Linearize the model. See Linearizing the Model.

8. Inspect the linearization. See Viewing Linearization Results.

9. If necessary, validate and troubleshoot the linearization. See Validating Exact Linearization Results and Validating Exact Linearization Results.

10. Save your project and export the results to the MATLAB Workspace. See Saving Projects and Exporting Results.

The first three steps in this process were completed in the previous chapters. This chapter continues the magball model example to give a detailed discussion of the remaining steps.
