ME 360 MATLAB/SIMULINK Tutorial
MATLAB Overview:
- Matrix aboratory!
- "ne bi# calculator
- $u%erical with ability to &o sy%bolic
o Co%pare to Maple' (y%bolic with ability to &o nu%eric
- Use of toolboxes (co%%an&s) fro% %any &isciplines) inclu&in#'
o Controls
o *yna%ics
o +inancial syste%s
o (oft co%putin# (fu,,y lo#ic) #enetic al#orith%s) neural networks)
o "pti%i,ation
o -%a#e processin#
o .a&io fre/uencies
- 0bility to create your own functions
- (yntax is 1ery C-like
o 2xa%ples to follow (-MU-$3 o1er1iew
- help! function
- 4o sa1e files %ust set the path appropriately
o +ile -5 (et 6ath -5 0&& +ol&er
SIMULINK Overview:
- 7lock &ia#ra% %etho& of perfor%in# M0407 calculations an& si%ulations
- *ra# an& &rop blocks of 1arious types
o (ources
o (inks
o inear functions
- Connect blocks with lines
- Can nest blocks within each other
- 6erfor% si%ulations on syste%
- 0&apt si%ulation para%eters throu#h %enus
- 0l%ost any fiel& in any %enu or block %ay be set or rea& by M0407
- 4ricky part is knowin# where to fin& the blocks
