Using This Manual
Because Simulink is graphical and interactive, we encourage you to jump right in and try it.
For a useful introduction that will help you start using Simulink quickly, take a look at Running a Demo Model. Browse around the model, double-click blocks that look interesting, and you will quickly get a sense of how Simulink works. If you want a quick lesson in building a model, see Building a Simple Model" in Chapter 1.
For a technical introduction to Simulink, see How Simulink Works. This chapter introduces many key concepts that you will need to understand in order to create and run Simulink models.
Simulink Basics, explains how to start Simulink, open and save models, enter commands, and perform other fundamental tasks.
Creating a Model, explains in detail how to build and edit models.
Working with Blocks, describes how to create blocks in a model.
Working with Signals, explains how to create signals in a model.
Working with Data, explains how to use data types and data objects in a model.
Modeling with Simulink, provides a brief introduction to the topic of modeling dynamic systems with Simulink. It also describes solutions to common modeling problems, such as efficiently modeling multirate systems.
Running a Simulation, describes how Simulink performs a simulation. It covers simulation parameters and the integration solvers used for simulation, including some of the strengths and weaknesses of each solver that should help you choose the appropriate solver for your problem. It also discusses multirate and hybrid systems.
Analyzing Simulation Results, discusses Simulink and MATLAB features useful for viewing and analyzing simulation results.
Creating Masked Subsystems, discusses methods for creating your own blocks and using masks to customize their appearance and use.
Simulink Debugger, explains how to use the Simulink debugger to debug Simulink models. It also documents debugger commands.
Performance Tools, explains how to use the Simulink accelerator and other optional tools that improve the performance of Simulink models.
Also, see the Simulink section of the release notes in the MATLAB help browser for information on last-minute changes and any known problems with the current release of the Simulink software.
