MATLAB AND SIMULINK. First steps in Simulink

Simulink is a graphical extension to MATLAB for modeling and simulation of systems. One of the main advantages of Simulink is the ability to model a nonlinear system, which a transfer function is unable to do. Another advantage of Simulink is the ability to take on initial conditions. When a transfer function is built, the initial conditions are assumed to be zero.

In Simulink, systems are drawn on screen as block diagrams. Many elements of block diagrams are available, such as transfer func...
