What is Simulink?
?a graphical, interactive software tool for modeling, simulating, and
analyzing dynamic systems
?enables rapid construction of “virtual prototypes” to explore design
concepts at any level of detail with minimal effort
?ideally suited to linear, nonlinear, continuous-time and discrete-time
systems
?commonly used in control system design, DSP design, communication
system design, and other simulation applications
?a graphical plug-in for MATLAB?, offering additional access to a range
of non-graphical analysis and design tools

Traditional approaches to system design typically include building a
prototype followed by extensive testing and revision. This method can be
both time-consuming and expensive. As an effective and widely accepted
alternative, simulation is now the preferred approach to engineering design.
Simulink is a powerful simulation software tool that enables you to quickly
build and test virtual prototypes so that you can explore design concepts at
any level of detail with minimal effort. By using Simulink to iterate and
refine designs before building the first prototype, engineers can benefit from
a faster, more…
