Simulink

Simulink is a simulation and model-based design environment for dynamic and embedded systems. Simulink also developed by MathWorks. It is fully integrated with MATLAB, and, together with MATLAB and the Control System Toolbox, forms a complete control system design and analysis environment.

It is a data flow graphical programming language tool for modeling, simulating and analysing multi-domain dynamic systems. It is basically a graphical block diagramming tool with customizable set of block libraries. It allows you to incorporate MATLAB algorithms into models as well as export the simulation results into MATLAB for further analysis. It can handle linear, nonlinear, continuous-time, discrete-time, multivariable systems.

Simulink runs on workstations using X-Windows, under Microsoft Windows on the PC, and on the Macintosh. It takes full advantage of windowing technology, including pull-down windows and mouse interactions. 

Simulink is capable of systematic verification and validation of models through modeling style checking, requirements traceability and model coverage analysis. Simulink Design Verifier allows you identify design errors and generates test case scenarios for model checking.

Simulink supports:

·         System-level design.

·         Simulation.

·         Automatic code generation.

·         Testing and verification of embedded systems.
