SLBE-O: Simulink for Aerospace System Design

This course is for aerospace engineers who are new to system and algorithm modeling and design validation in Simulink®. It demonstrates how to apply basic modeling techniques and tools to develop Simulink block diagrams. Specifically, students will learn how to:

  • Create and modify Simulink models and simulate system dynamics
  • Model continuous-time, discrete-time, and hybrid systems
  • Modify solver settings for simulation accuracy and speed
  • Build hierarchy into a Simulink model
  • Create reusable model components using subsystems, libraries, and model references
  • If your application is signal processing or communications, please refer to the Simulink for Signal Processing course.
