Developing Algorithms with Simulink® and SimElectronics™

As a physical modeling product built on Simscape, SimElectronics provides expanded capabilities for modeling electronic and electromechanical systems. You can create your physical plant model (such as a stepper motor and driver electronics) using physical connections, and, through Simscape interface blocks, connect it directly to your control or signal processing algorithm modeled with signal flows in Simulink. As a result, you can test your entire system within the Simulink environment.

Changing the simulation mode in the Parameters dialog (above) balances the tradeoff of simulation speed and model fidelity, as seen in the graphs showing the results for simulations using averaged mode (bottom left) and PWM mode (bottom right).
