SLPM-S: Physical Modeling of Multidomain Systems with Simscape

This one-day course discusses how to model systems in several physical domains and combine them into a multidomain system in the Simulink® environment using Simscape™. Topics include:

  • Creating models in various physical domains, such as electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic
  • Interpreting Simscape diagrams
  • Combining Simulink models and Simscape models
  • Modeling energy transfer between different physical domains
  • Creating user-defined Simscape components
