5.1. Introduction

5.1. Introduction

This chapter introduces SIMULINK, a graphical extension of MATLAB specifically designed for simulating dynamic systems. SIMULINK is widely used for modeling, simulation, and analysis of complex systems across various engineering fields. Throughout this chapter, you will learn how to navigate SIMULINK libraries, create simple models, and understand the fundamentals of simulation. Mastering SIMULINK is essential for those who aim to simulate and analyze dynamic systems in an integrated environment.
