Getting Started

Building a Simple Model

In the previous section, you ran a model that was already built. This section explains how to build a simple Simulink model that displays a sine wave in a scope. For more detailed information on building models, see the Simulink documentation.

The Basic Steps

This section describes the basic steps in building a model. It explains how to

• Set simulation parameters with commstartup
• Open a new model window
• Open block libraries
• Move blocks into a model window
• Connect the blocks
• Set block parameters
• Set simulation parameters
• Run the model

Building a model usually involves several iterations, as you decide which blocks to include and what parameter settings to make. In the example in this section, you will refine the model by adding noise. The section explains how to

• Add noise to the model
• Save the model

The section also explains

• Frames and frame-based processing
• Discrete signals and sample times
• Continuous signals
