Welcome back to the Physical Modeling in Simscape with Simulink & MATLAB blog series! This blog builds on the previous session, where we introduced subsystems. Today, we’ll explore modeling complex systems, such as engines, using Simscape. By leveraging subsystems and advanced blocksets, you’ll learn to design efficient, professional-grade models.
This tutorial is brought to you as part of Skill-Lync's Full Course on Simscape physical modeling. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced learner, this guide will help you tackle multi-domain systems with confidence.
Step 1: Understanding Engine Systems in Simscape
Engine systems are integral to many applications, including automotive and aerospace. Simscape provides blocks and libraries that allow you to model and simulate engines efficiently.
Exploring Engine Models:
Powertrain Blockset:
Step 2: Building a Simple Engine Subsystem
This block provides a simplified representation of an engine, with parameters like throttle, power, and torque.
Configuring the Engine Block:
Creating Subsystems for Components:
Step 3: Analyzing Advanced Subsystems
Looking Under the Mask:
For Simscape blocks, the source code may be accessible, providing insight into how the block is implemented.
Exploring Hierarchical Models:
Subsystems often contain additional subsystems, creating a hierarchy. For example:
Step 4: Creating Custom Subsystems
Vehicle Body Example:
Aerodynamics Subsystem:
Step 5: Practical Tips for Subsystem Design
Conclusion
In this blog, we explored how to model complex systems, such as engines and vehicles, using subsystems in Simscape. By understanding Simscape modeling workflow and exploring block hierarchies, you can tackle intricate designs with ease.
