The discussion focuses on implementing dynamic max/min control in a Simulink model of a 2 D.O.F system with damping. The goal is to adjust the control value based on varying maximum and minimum thresholds during simulation. If the control value exceeds the maximum or falls below the minimum, it should be clamped to these limits; otherwise, it should reflect the specified input. The challenge lies in the fact that Fmax and Fmin change over time, complicating the use of static max/min functions. Suggestions for alternative approaches to IF blocks are sought to achieve the desired control behavior effectively.

I am modelling the vibration of a 2 D.O.F system with damping in Simulink.

I want to set up control such that if the control value is between two values (max and min) then it sets the control value to the specified input but if it is outside the max and min interval then the control value is set to the max or min as appropriate.

eg.

Fd> Fmax , then set to Fmax
Fd< Fmin , then set to Fmin

If not set to Fd.

Fmax and Fmin will vary slightly throughout the simulation so can not use a max/min since they vary with time during the simulation.

Any ideas how it will be best to do this. Basically going to be three inputs into the block from the system which need to be evaluated and then the appropriate input set as the output.

I have tried IF blocks but they won't work properly for the simulation.

Thanks

Dan

What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
