Mechatronic Simulation with Simscape Electrical

Highlights

With Simscape Electrical you can:

• Model mechatronic systems with components such as motors, semiconductors, op-amps, and sensors
• Configure component models to have the right amount of detail for your simulation task
• Create custom components with Simscape language
• Automatically tune parameters of components to meet system requirements
• Run simulations in real-time for HIL testing

Mechatronic systems include a wide range of components, including motors, op-amps, and shaft encoders. Simulating these components together with mechanical and control systems is critical to optimizing system performance. To ensure that testing is efficient, Simscape Electrical offers many ways to easily balance the tradeoff of model fidelity and simulation speed. The ability to generate C code from the model enables engineers to use Model-Based Design for the entire system (plant and controller).
