Developing and Testing Controls

SimMechanics implements high-fidelity, nonlinear plant models in Simulink that can be used in the development and testing of control systems. You can extract linear plant models from the complete, nonlinear model using Simulink Control Design (available separately) for use with any MathWorks control design product.

Generating Code

SimMechanics models can be deployed through automatic code generation with Real-Time Workshop (available separately). You can use the generated code to:

• Build stand-alone executables of your SimMechanics models that can be integrated into C programs or other MATLAB and Simulink models
• Run hardware-in-the-loop simulations by porting SimMechanics plant models onto real-time processors that interface directly with hardware
• Improve the calculation speed of your model by compiling the C-code
