Simulink Definition and 30 Discussions

Simulink is a MATLAB-based graphical programming environment for modeling, simulating and analyzing multidomain dynamical systems. Its primary interface is a graphical block diagramming tool and a customizable set of block libraries. It offers tight integration with the rest of the MATLAB environment and can either drive MATLAB or be scripted from it. Simulink is widely used in automatic control and digital signal processing for multidomain simulation and model-based design.

    Engineering How to implement a transfer function in Simulink with variable coefficients?

    The implementations for the two filters in simulink are as follow: For the first filter: For the second one: The obtained results have values of 10^-12, while the expected results should be between 10^-3 - 10. Since it's the first time when I try t implement a tf with variable coefficients I...

    Simulink bloc of PMSM (permanent magnet synchronous motor) parameters

    greetings. I designed a system on simulink. it is missing a pmsm. I found a block on simpowersystems in simulink nde matlab. I hope that this engine provides a nominal power of 96kw and maximum of 100kw. so how to test it? to verify that this engine can deliver these two powers? cordially. said.
