Modeling the Plant and Controller

Simscape provides expanded capabilities for modeling physical systems. You can create your physical plant model using physical connections and connect it directly to your control model built using signal flows in Simulink. As a result, you can test your entire system (multidomain physical plant and controller) within the Simulink environment.
