Recorded Webinar: Design and Verify Control Systems Using Simulink (part 1): Introduction to Dynamic Simulation

In this webinar we will introduce how you can use dynamic simulation to model, design, and verify control systems before testing on hardware. It is the first of a four part webinar series that will highlight the use of MathWorks products for designing or updating a control system by using a digital motion control case study. The webinar will introduce the main products used in the case study and highlight the benefits gained through dynamic simulation in Simulink. The remaining three webinars will detail the aspects of modeling the plant (part 2), designing the control system (part 3), and testing the control system through simulation and real-time testing (part 4).

Through this webinar series MathWorks engineers will demonstrate how you can:

• Catch errors early in the development process where they are easier and cheaper to fix.
• Troubleshoot existing design problems systematically and effectively, without tying up actual hardware systems
• Test more thoroughly, by starting before hardware is available and by simulating conditions that would be dangerous or costly to examine with real hardware
• Try different control strategies safely and quickly

This will help you reduce development time and costs, improve quality, and deliver systems with higher performance and efficiency.
