Why use Simulink?
In Simulink, you can model and simulate your entire system
6
In Simulink, you can interact with, visualise, and test your system
7
In Simulink, you can use a common design platform for your full development process

TAFE Expedites Development of Embedded Control Software for Agricultural Tractors Using Model-Based Design
10
“Model-Based Design is a fundamental requirement for teams
that need to take on larger projects of increasing complexity. At
TAFE, it reduced the effort required at virtually every stage of the
project, including plant modeling, software development, and all
phases of testing.”

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Develops Robotic Arm for Removing Nuclear Fuel Debris
11
“Model-Based Design with MATLAB and Simulink supports a
wide range of options, from classic to modern control, which
made it possible to respond easily to any changes in design
constraints and to meet the demanding accuracy requirement for
this robot.”
- Tadashi Murata, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries

ABB Accelerates the Delivery of Large-Scale, Grid-Connected Inverter Products with Model-Based Design
12
“Simulink and Embedded Coder enabled us to open the door to
new markets. With increased productivity from extensive
simulation and efficient code generation, we have confidence in
our ability to produce the systems that larger customers are
asking for in the time frames they want.”
- Dr. Robert Turner, ABB
A cabinet of Power Electronic
Building Blocks (PEBBs).
In summary, Simulink is a graphical environment for modeling and simulating dynamic systems, and is the platform for Model-Based Design
