Model-Based Design

Objective: Get a brief overview of how Simulink models can be used in a traditional design process. Discuss where the material covered in this course fits into that process.

Requirements Linking and Interface Control

Objective: Use a Simulink model to store system requirements, illustrate data flow, and define system interfaces.

· Component stubs

· Requirements linking

· Component interfaces

· Bus objects

Model Architecture

Objective: Discuss the pros and cons of the different features used for organizing a Simulink model into separate components.

· System component considerations

· Virtual subsystems

· Atomic subsystems

· Model references

· Libraries

· Component variants

Project Management

Objective: Explore methods used for managing Simulink projects, such as determining Simulink model dependencies and comparing project files.

· Model dependencies

· File organization

· Startup and cleanup scripts

· Project setup

· Source control integration

· File differences

Data Management

Objective: Explore the data dependencies of a Simulink model and learn best practices for managing a Simulink model""""s data.

· Simulink data

· Parameter storage

· Workspace precedence

· Parameter management

· Data dictionary

· Tunability

Modeling Standards

Objective: Use the Simulink Model Advisor to enforce modeling standards, check for common modeling errors, and optimize model performance.

· Modeling standards

· Model Advisor

· Custom configurations

· Reporting results
