SLPM-S: Physical Modeling of Multidomain Systems with Simscape

Note: A 1 hour test session will be scheduled one day prior to the first day of class. This session is to verify that the visual and audio connection is working properly on your computer. The required product software should be installed for the test session. It is highly recommended that you attend this session to ensure a successful and timely class start.

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
