Summary

Simulink is a graphical block diagram interface for multidisciplinary simulation and Model-Based Design. It supports simulation, automatic code generation, and continuous test and verification of embedded systems.

Simulink provides a graphical editor, customizable set of 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. Simulink is in particular a very powerful platform for modeling control systems. Different aspect of controller design and tuning will be discussed in this workshop.

The focus of this workshop will be to provide an introduction to the system modelling using Simulink The basics of the Simulink blocks and system class functions will be introduced. Each section of the workshop will introduce the capabilities of the Simulink in modeling different types of systems. The workshop is intended to provide an introduction to the concept and prepare a solid foundation for exploring more advanced topics. The workshop is designed for third and fourth year undergrad as well as grad students in Engineering particularly mechanical and electrical engineering. Basic programming knowledge and system modeling is pre-requisite for this workshop.
