Simulation of Bouncing Ball

Uses two models of a bouncing ball to show different approaches to modeling hybrid dynamic systems with Zeno behavior. Zeno behavior is informally characterized by an infinite number of events occurring in a finite time interval for certain hybrid systems. As the ball loses energy, the ball collides with the ground in successively smaller intervals of time.

Thermal Model of a House

Use Simulink® to create the thermal model of a house. This system models the outdoor environment, the thermal characteristics of the house, and the house heating system.

• Open Model

Model an Anti-Lock Braking System

Model a simple Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS). The model simulates the dynamic behavior of a vehicle under hard braking conditions. The model represents a single wheel, which may be replicated a number of times to create a model for a multi-wheel vehicle.

Anti-Windup Control Using PID Controller Block

Use anti-windup schemes to prevent integration wind-up in PID controllers when the actuators are saturated. The PID Controller block in Simulink® features two built-in anti-windup methods, back-calculation and clamping, as well as a tracking mode to handle more complex industrial scenarios. The PID Controller block supports several features that allow it to handle controller windup issues under commonly encountered industrial scenarios.
