    Uploaded by

    Atta Rehman
    Simulink is a MATLAB program for simulating dynamic systems. It allows users to define models graphically using blocks and then analyze the behavior of those models. Key features include the ability to construct models visually using block diagrams, simulate the behavior of those models, and extract linear models or find equilibrium points for analysis. The document provides step-by-step instructions for building simple models, modifying existing models, and using MATLAB commands to analyze model properties.

    MATLAB TRAINING SESSION V

    SIMULINK
    SIMULINKTM is a program for simulating dynamic systems.As an extension to MATLAB,
    SIMULINK adds many features specific to dynamic systems while retaining all of MATLAB’s
    general purpose functionality. SIMULINK has two phases of use: model definition and model
    analysis. A typical session starts by either defining a model or retrieving a previously defined
    model, and then proceeds to analysis of that model. These two steps are often performed itera-
    tively until the model achieves the desired behavior.

    To facilitate model definition, SIMULINK adds a new class of windows called block diagram
    windows. In these windows, models are created and edited principally by mouse driven com-
    mands. Part of mastering SIMULINK is to become familiar with the manipulation of model com-
    ponents within these windows. After you define a model, you can analyze it either by choosing
    options from the SIMULINK menus or by entering commands in MATLAB’s command window.
    Built-in analysis tools include various simulation algorithms, linmod, a tool for extracting linear
    models of systems, and trim, a tool for finding equilibrium points.

    Constructing a Simple Model:


    At the MATLAB prompt type >>simulink. This command displays a new window containing
    icons for the subsystem blocks that make up the standard library. These subsystems can be opened
    (by double-clicking) to produce the windows containing the prototype blocks to be copied into
    your models. Click on File and New, then move the window to a comfortable position.

    Open Sources, Sinks, Linear, and Connections by double-clicking on the icon with the
    left mouse button. Move the windows to a comfortable position. Blocks can be copied from one
    window to another by dragging them from the original location to the new location by holding
    down the left mouse button. Assemble the following diagram in your working window (page 3).
    [ Step Input -> Sources; Sum & Transfer Fcn -> Linear; Auto-Scale Graph -> Sinks ]

    (1) Enlarge the blocks, arrange into order, and wire them together as shown. Blocks are
    expandeded by dragging the corner indicators outward with the mouse; To wire a block,
    drag the block’s output arrow to the input arrow of the next icon using the left mouse button.
    (2) Double click on the Transfer Fcn block and change the coefficients
    (3) Click on File, then Save and name your model trysimu1
    (4) Click on Simulation, then Parameters and set Stop Time to 6 and Max Step Size to 0.1.
    (5) Click on Simulation, then Start and observe the trace on the Auto-Scale Graph.
    *Notice the exponential response with maximum value at 0.25 (is this what we expect?).

    (1) Now modify the model to the one shown below.


    (2) Double click on the Gain block and set the gain to 4.
    (3) Click on Simulation, then Start and observe the trace on the Graph window.
    Notice the exponential response with maximum value at 1.0.
    (4) Save the model.

    (1) Now modify the model to the closed-loop feedback control system shown below.
    (2) Double click on the Sum block and set the second symbol to - (minus sign).
    (3) Wire the feedback:
    Get a tap off the Transfer Fcn wire with a right-click-hold-drag and pull it down below the
    icon. Point left-click-hold-drag to add a new wire to the head of the feedback arrow and move
    left under the Sum block. Repeat this procedure to go up then right into the - input of the sum.
    (4) Click on Simulation, then Start and observe the trace on the Graph window.
    *Notice that with feedback we have increased the speed of the response
    (5) Save the model.

    The model is saved , we can return to it another day by:


    (1) Click on File, then Quit MATLAB.
    (2) Restart MATLAB
    (3) At the MATLAB prompt type >>trysimu1: Start a simulation as was done above.
    (4) Close trysimu1 and start simulink for the next example: >>simulink.

    Using the MATLAB Commands:


    Suppose we are interested in investigating the frequency response characteristics and the step and
    ramp response of the following servo-system.

    (1) Build the model shown above.


    Change block names with a click on the block name, type the new name, and finally click on white space.
    Click to highlight the Rate Feedback gain block and use the Flip command from the Options menu.
    (2) Save the model as trysimu2 and then close the file.
    (3) Build a state space model of the system at the MATLAB command window using linmod
    (4) Determine the frequency response characteristics using bode
    (5) Inspect the step response of the system using step

    Get the Integrators, Gain, and Sum blocks from the Linear library
    Get the Outport block from the Connections library
    Get the Fcn and Product blocks from the Nonlinear library

    Get a tap off existing wires by point-click-dragging with the right mouse button
    Labels are added by point-clicking on the text location and then typing the text
    (2) Save the model as vdpol
    (3) We will use the built-in *linsim integrator to simulate the response for this system
    *Other options include rk23, rk45, adams, gear, and euler

    PRINTING THE MODEL:

    A graphics file of the block diagram model can be created using the same print command used
    with graphs.

    print -s[model_name] -d[graphics_format] file_name

    1. The model name should be the current model window you want to print.
    The print command creates a graphics file specified with the default format being PostScript
    2. The user sends the graphics file to the printer from the operating system prompt

    Printing Example:
    (1) In MATLAB type
    >>print -svdpol vdpol
    (2) In Unix type
    SunOS/boswell 3% lp -deb119_ps1 vdpol.ps

    Importing into FrameMaker:


    (1) In MATLAB type
    >>print -svdpol -deps vdpol
    (2) In FrameMaker use
    File -> Import -> File -> vdpol.eps -> Set
