Simulink

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Simulink, developed by MathWorks, is a data flowgraphical programming language tool for modeling,simulating and analyzing multidomain dynamic systems.Its primary interface is a graphical block diagramming tooland a customizable set of block libraries. It offers tightintegration with the rest of the MATLAB environment andcan either drive MATLAB or be scripted from it. Simulinkis widely used in control theory and digital signalprocessing for multidomain simulation and Model-Based

Design.[2][3]

A number of MathWorks and third-party hardware andsoftware products are available for use with Simulink. Forexample, Stateflow extends Simulink with a designenvironment for developing state machines and flow charts.

Coupled with Simulink Coder (http://www.mathworks.com/products/simulink-coder?s_cid=wiki_simulink_3),another product from MathWorks, Simulink can automatically generate C source code for real-timeimplementation of systems. As the efficiency and flexibility of the code improves, this is becoming more widely

adopted for production systems,[4][5] in addition to being a popular tool for embedded system design workbecause of its flexibility and capacity for quick iteration. Embedded Coder (http://www.mathworks.com/products/embedded-coder?s_cid=wiki_simulink_4) creates code efficient enough for use in embedded systems.[6][7][8]

xPC Target together with x86-based real-time systems provides an environment to simulate and test Simulinkand Stateflow models in real-time on the physical system. Embedded Coder (http://www.mathworks.com/products/embedded-coder?s_cid=wiki_simulink_5) also supports specific embedded targets, including InfineonC166, Motorola 68HC12, Motorola MPC 555, TI C2000, TI C6000, Renesas V850 and Renesas SuperH.

With HDL Coder (http://www.mathworks.com/products/slhdlcoder?s_cid=wiki_simulink_6), also fromMathWorks, Simulink and Stateflow can automatically generate synthesizable VHDL and Verilog.

Simulink Verification and Validation enables systematic verification and validation of models through modelingstyle checking, requirements traceability and model coverage analysis. Simulink Design Verifier uses formalmethods to identify design errors like integer overflow, division by zero and dead logic, and generates test casescenarios for model checking within the Simulink environment.

The systematic testing tool TPT offers one way to perform formal test- verification and validation process tostimulate Simulink models but also during the development phase where the developer generates inputs to testthe system. By the substitution of the Constant and Signal generator blocks of Simulink the stimulationbecomes reproducible.

SimEvents adds a library of graphical building blocks for modeling queuing systems to the Simulink

environment. It also adds an event-based simulation engine to the time-based simulation engine in Simulink.[9]
