INTRODUCTION
 Simulink is a MATLAB-based graphical programming
environment for modeling, simulating and analyzing multi
domain dynamical systems. Its primary interface is a
graphical block diagramming tool and a customizable set of
block libraries.

 For modeling, simulink provides a graphical user interface

(GUI) for building models as block diagrams, using click-
and-drag mouse operations.

Developer: MathWorks
License: Proprietary
Operating system: Linux, macOS, Microsoft Windows
OTHER FEATURES
 Simulink includes a comprehensive block library of sinks, sources, linear and
nonlinear components, and connectors.

 We can also customize and create our own blocks.

 Models are hierarchical, so we can build models. using both top-down and bottom-up
approaches.
 We can view the system at a high level and then double-click blocks to go down
through the levels and thus visualize the model details.
OTHER FEATURES
 In simulink, using scopes and other display blocks,
we can see the simulation results while these
simulation is running.
 In addition, we can change many parameters and
see what happens.
 The simulation results can be put in the MATLAB
workspace for post processing and visualization.
 Everything is in graphically instead of typical
m.code
OTHER FEATURES
 It supports linear and nonlinear systems modeled in continuous time,
discrete time, or a hybrid of the two.
 The simulink model can be applied for modeling various time-varying
systems that includes:

 Control Systems
 Signal Processing Systems
 Video Processing Systems
 Image Processing Systems
 Communication
 Satellite Systems
 Ship Systems
 Automotive Systems
 Monetary Systems
STARTING SIMULINK
Simulink is started from the MATLAB command prompt by entering the following command:
simulink
Alternatively, you can hit the Simulink button at the top of the MATLAB window as shown here:
STARTING SIMULINK
Once you click on Blank Model, a new window will appear as shown below.
STARTING SIMULINK
When it starts, Simulink brings up a single window, entitled Simulink Start Page which can be seen here.
MATLAB SIMULINK - BLOCKS
Blocks in Simulink helps to create models. You can make use of a
Simulink library browser that has different types of blocks for
creating a model.

The two ways to select the blocks are as follows −

 Using Simulink browser library.
 Searching for block inside model canvas.
USING SIMULINK BROWSER LIBRARY

Simulink library browser To bring the block inside your model

Simulink search option

Click the block and add to your current model
SEARCHING FOR BLOCK INSIDE MODEL CANVAS
Another way to add blocks to your model is to click inside the model and type the name of the block. It will
search in the library browser and list all the model as per what you have typed.
SAVE FILE
Here all the file save in .slx formate

EXAMPLE

Signal Amplification
To create a simple model of Gain Amplifier,

We need following blocks:

 Sine Wave To generate an input signal for the –model
 Gain To increase the amplitude of input signal.
 Scope - To visualize the signals in the model
SIMULATION

You can varry the gain and sine wave amplitude as per your requirement
SIMULATION (INPUT + OUTPUT)

You can vary the gain and sine wave amplitude as per your requirement
PLOTTING IN DIFFERENT SECTION
SIMULATION (BY MUX)

You can vary the gain and sine wave amplitude as per your requirement
CREATING MODEL ANNOTATION & SIGNAL LABELING

Annotations provide textual information about a model.

We can add an annotation to any unoccupied area of our block diagram.
To create a model annotation, double-click an unoccupied area of the
block diagram.
A small rectangle appears and the cursor changes to an insertion point.
Start typing the annotation contents.
TITTLE NAME OF MODEL
EDIT INDIVISUAL COMPONETS NAME
MODIFYING THE BLOCKS
Resizing a block
Left-click on a block and drag the corner of the
block to resize it.
Changing the color of a block
Foreground and Background color of a block
can be changed
Click on the Format menu
Select Foreground and Background color.
Disconnecting a block
Left-Click, hold "Shift Key" and drag a block
to disconnect the block from the model
LEBELING SIGNAL

Double click on the signal to type label

Left-click and move the label anywhere on the signal
An attempt to move else where, the label will snap back to the
signal

FLOATING SCOPE
The Floating Scope is a sink block from the Simulink/Sinks library in the Simulink Library
Browser. This block is similar to the Scope block, but it does not have any input ports! Instead, you
can select any signals in your model and view them on the Floating Scope.

Unlock & Link it to which

signal need to show
DATA EXPORTING FROM SIMULINK TO MATLAB
Data can be export from Simulink to MATLAB workspace for further
processing.
To perform this, we have to connect to Workspace block in the model
from library browser.

You can see in workspace

SIGNAL ROUTING (BUS CREATOR/BUS SELECTOR)
When you have numbers of block are more , it’s very difficult to routing the signal.
So we use these two option to minimize the connection between two or numvbers
For Example : blocks
SIGNAL ROUTING (BUS CREATOR/BUS SELECTOR)
The Bus Creator block combines a set of signals into a bus, i.e., a group of signals represented by a
single line in a block diagram.

The Bus Selector block accepts input from a Bus Creator block or another Bus Selector block. This
block has one input port. The number of output ports depends on the state of the Muxed output check
box.
SIGNAL ROUTING (BUS CREATOR)

CREATING SUB SYSTEM IN SIMULINK

Subsystems are useful when your model gets big and complex. You
can change a part of the model into a subsystem that helps to keep
the flow very clean and understandable.

A subsystem can be virtual or nonvirtual.

A virtual subsystem provides graphical hierarchy in a model.
A nonvirtual subsystem provides graphical hierarchy and executes
as a unit within a model.
CREATING SUB SYSTEM IN SIMULINK

We will change the value of the constant as 10 and 20. The

result 10+20 = 30 should be seen inside the display block.

Let us add one more block named Unary minus that will
change the output from 30 to -30
CREATING SUB SYSTEM IN SIMULINK

Now, let us select the portion i.e. the sum and the Unary
minus block to create a subsystem

Click on Create Subsystem. Once done, the sum block

and the Unary minus block will be converted into a
subsystem
PRELOAD CONSTANT VALUE
When we design some big model we have to take assumption of different variable as constant. And
later on we will add the value to get our desire result.

Initially it will show error

PRELOAD CONSTANT VALUE

Steps:
1. Save the model.
2. Close the model
3. Reopen the model again
4. Do the setting in
MODELLING > Model Settings > Model Properties > Callbacks > PreLoadFcn > Assign the value
USE OF MATLAB INBUILT FUNCTION IN SIMULINK

You can check all the inbuilt function available in matlab

USER DEFINE FUNCTION (MATLAB FUNCTION)
The Simulink Function block is a subsystem block preconfigured as a starting point for graphically
defining a function with Simulink® blocks. The block provides a text interface to function callers. You can
call a Simulink Function block from a Function Caller block, a MATLAB Function block, or a Stateflow ® chart.

Steps:
1. Drag & Drop Matlab Function
2. Double click on that block
3. In command prompt its create a function file
4. Modified the function as per your requirement.
 USER DEFINE FUNCTION (MATLAB FUNCTION)

SOLUTION
EXAMPLE
y(t) = 2Sin(t) + 5Sin(2t) - 10
Following are the steps to solve the equation −
 Get a Sine wave block. Right click and select block parameters. Select sign type as time based. Change
the amplitude to 2 and frequency to 1. That will be 2Sin(t).
 Get another sine wave block. Now, set the amplitude to 5 and frequency to 2 to display 5Sin(2t). Select
sign type as time based.
 Now get an add block and add both sine waves.
 Get a constant. Right click and select block parameters. Change the value from 1 to 10.
 Get a subtract block where one input will come from step 3 and another from constant i.e. step 4.
 Get a scope block and connect the input from step 6 to it.
