Getting Started with Simulink for Controls

Get started with Simulink® by walking through an example. This video shows you the basics of what it's like to use Simulink.

You will learn how to model, simulate, and test a controller for a solar panel as it tracks the movement of the sun throughout the day. You’ll see how to model a physical system, design a basic PI controller for that system, and then run simulations to ensure that the model is working correctly.

After going through the example, you’ll learn how Simulink is just one part of Model-Based Design for modeling, simulating, testing, and implementing real-world systems.

I wish they teach like this at school! great presentation and very informative. Thanks!

[kenwallace]

Always learn something new about Simulink, even at 81 years and counting.

[vohoangquannguyen]

Thanks MATLAB for the intuitive and detail introduction! *kudos*

[maxrkmrose]

Simple to learn and .... we're done! It's that easy! Great presentation, but slim on usable content. Even the Simulink On-ramp is diluted. We need real, affordable training content, not marketing.

Thanks for the great video! As other people mentioning, this video should be a part of lessons in universities.

Solving real problems, Good Job . Thank you for making these videos.

That's great, thanks... But how did you get the sun position data from... Coz I failed to understand

[mrmatias]

My University has the same teaching strategy as yours. Thanks for your good job.

How the values of PI controller have been chosen?

Como estudiante de la carrera de mecánica me parece interesante la manera en la que explica los pasos a seguir para empezar a usar simulink, desde la teoría que son las ecuaciones que rigen el sistema hasta el uso de dicha aplicación.

Hi, Is it possible to simulate of PV Solar Array with sun tracking using MATLAB Simulink?

[ntinoshatzidakis]

you are definately a great proffesor dear lady.... very helpfull and understandable.. thank you

[sivapalanirajan]

nice to hear from you the panel control... such an attractive video...

[altaykaan]

If i had a teacher like her, i could model whole world with matlab.

[amr.a-m]

Thx for your effort video but the modeling of box for a motor not exploring by way a full details as in the panel box.

[mohammedelbaraka]

Very informative, thank you so much!!!

[mamleshbohari]

How do we get the equations for motor, panel and other entities?

[jithinpoliyedathmohanan]

Wow what a good sound.. I like her sound

[alexanderkohler]

Can someone explain the the formulas at 1:26. For the panel and the motor?

[canlished]

Outstanding ....
It's making all the sense....
