Using Simulink in simulation of dynamic behaviour of nonlinear process

Abstract

The contribution shows benefits of using mathematical software Matlab and its add-on for graphical programming Simulink. There are shown two ways of using Simulink for simulating of the dynamic behaviour of the nonlinear system. The first method is used for those who have already done simulating program in Matlab and need to implement it inside Simulink scheme. The second option is to use special S-function used for simulink. Proposed methods are tested on the simulation of the dynamic behaviour of the mathematical model of the continuous stirred-tank reactor as a typical nonlinear equipment from the industry. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015.
