Course Highlights

This one-day course discusses how to model systems in several physical domains and combine them into a multidomain system in the Simulink® environment using Simscape™. Topics include:

• Creating models in various physical domains, such as electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic
• Interpreting Simscape diagrams
• Combining Simulink models and Simscape models
• Modeling energy transfer between different physical domains
• Creating user-defined Simscape components

Course Objectives

The aim of this course is to provide an introduction to Simscape software for modeling multidomain system. 

Who Should Attend

This hands-on course is designed for engineers who wish to implement physical modeling using Simscape Software in the SIMULINK environment. Engineers, researchers, scientists, and managers working with systems level design will be shown an easy-to-use approach in using Simscape software.

Course Benefits

Upon the completion of the course, the participants will gain an understanding of Simscape software which is essential and useful for designing and building multidomain systems
