Mastering Simulink

For courses in Control Theory and Operational Amplifiers.

Ideal for use with Simulink 5 and later versions, this text covers all of the important capabilities of Simulink including subsystems, masking, callbacks, S-Functions, and debugging. Its full range of coverage makes the text suitable for new users of Simulink as well as experienced and advanced users―allowing all students to take full advantage of the power of Simulink. Designed for students with a good understanding of the fundamentals of calculus and differential equations, this text includes a chapter on block diagram notation for students who may not be familiar with that topic.

Simulink is a programming language specifically designed for simulating dynamical systems using standard block diagram notation. Designed for readers with the appropriate mathematical preparation that includes a good understanding of the fundamental concepts from introductory experience such as calculus and differential equations, this book presents detailed coverage of programming using Simulink. Beginning with a block diagram tutorial, the book presents an overview of Simulink and describes in detail the procedures for building, editing, and running a Simulink model. The book also provides explanations for debugging techniques, including the interactive debugger; contains an examination of Stateflow™, a Simulink extension that adds the capability to model finite state machines subsystems using a variant of the popular Statecharts formalism; and concludes with an introduction to Real-Time Workshop. For professionals with a career in engineering, control systems, programming, or science.
