SL01: Simulink for System and Algorithm Modeling

This course is for engineers who are new to system and algorithm modeling and design validation in Simulink®. It demonstrates how to apply basic modeling techniques and tools to develop Simulink block diagrams. Topics include:

  • Creating and modifying Simulink models and simulate system dynamics
  • Modeling continuous-time, discrete-time, and hybrid systems
  • Modifying solver settings for simulation accuracy and speed
  • Building hierarchy into a Simulink model
  • Creating reusable model components using subsystems, libraries, and model references

If your application is signal processing or communications, please refer to the Simulink for Signal Processing course (SG02).
