Abell J. MatLAB and Simulink. Modeling Dynamic Systems

The MathWorks, Inc., 2016. — 196 p. — ISBN: 978-1-537-31044-2.Simulink is a block diagram environment for multidomain simulation and Model-Based Design. It supports system-level design, simulation, automatic code generation, and continuous test and verification of embedded systems. Simulink provides a graphical editor, customizable block libraries, and solvers for modeling and simulating dynamic systems. It is integrated with MatLAB, enabling you to incorporate MatLAB algorithms into models and export simulation results to MatLAB for further analysis.The next features are very impiortant in Simulink:
Graphical editor for building and managing hierarchical block diagrams
Libraries of predefined blocks for modeling continuous-time and discrete-time systems
Simulation engine with fixed-step and variable-step ODE solvers
Scopes and data displays for viewing simulation results
Project and data management tools for managing model files and data
Model analysis tools for refining model architecture and increasing simulation speed
MatLAB Function block for importing MatLAB algorithms into models
Legacy Code Tool for importing C and C++ code into models
