Aerospace Blockset    

Getting Started with the Aerospace Blockset

To get started with the Aerospace Blockset, you need to use Simulink. All the blocks in the Aerospace Blockset are designed for use together with the blocks in the Simulink libraries. This section describes how to open the Aerospace Blockset on Windows and on UNIX platforms.

Opening the Aerospace Blockset on Windows Platforms

You can open the Aerospace Blockset from the Simulink Library Browser.

Opening the Simulink Library Browser

To start Simulink, click the icon in the MATLAB toolbar, or type

at the command line.

The Simulink Libraries

The libraries in the Simulink Library Browser contain all the basic elements you need to construct a model. Look here for basic math operations, switches, connectors, simulation control elements, and other items that do not have a specific aerospace orientation.

Opening the Aerospace Blockset

On Windows platforms, the Simulink Library Browser opens when you start Simulink. The left pane contains a list of all the blocksets that you currently have installed.

The first item in the list is the Simulink blockset itself, which is already expanded to show the available Simulink libraries. Click the  symbol to the left of any blockset name to expand the hierarchical list and display that blockset's libraries within the browser.

To open the Aerospace Blockset window from the MATLAB command line, enter

See the Simulink documentation for a complete description of the Library Browser.
