Hi Guys, What is the difference between modeling a mathematical equation of an electrical circuit by using basic and commonly used blocks in Simulink vs modeling electrical circuits using electrical blocks from the Simulink library ? I am new to MATLAB and Simulink ;). |
| Vovk_Z:
1. Your question sounds like a question: Is there a difference between two different models? 2. I don't remember: are there any electrical blocks in Simulink library, or they belong to other libraries? I guess Similink works only with pure noname "signals", but not with electrical values. |
| RoGeorge:
Probably none if you model correctly. Slightly off-topic, for electric/electronic circuits, in practice everybody uses LTspice for simulations, or some other similar simulator, like PSpice, QUCS, TINA-TI, etc. Matlab or Octave are rather rare in day to day EE work, those are used only for academic purposes or for uncharted research. Otherwise an EE uses LTspice. |

Search for Simscape Electrical for more information on electrical components for modeling. Simulink uses math blocks for modeling. Different products that are MATLAB add-ons. The thing is, LTspice can't interface with an external device (like an Arduino) while implementing a control strategy in a simulation and it most certainly can not build a GUI interface for the simulation. MATLAB is awesome! Check out the Enigma machine simulation late in this video: https://www.mathworks.com/videos/the-enigma-machine-and-matlab-107967.html |
