Simulink® is a software package for modeling, simulating, and analyzing dynamic systems. It supports linear and nonlinear systems, modeled in continuous time, sampled time, or a hybrid of the two. Systems can also be multirate, i.e., have different parts that are sampled or updated at different rates.
Simulink allows engineers to rapidly and accurately build computer models of dynamical systems, using the block diagram notation. With Simulink, it is easy to model complex nonlinear systems. A Simulink model can include both continuous and discrete-time components. Additionally, a Simulink model can produce graphical animations that show the progress of a simulation visually, significantly enhancing understanding of the system’s behavior.
