A Stepwise Guide- How to open the DRIVER GLIDER model in Simulink?

Simulink is an interactive, graphical platform provided for modelling, simulating, and evaluating dynamic systems. It is a MATLAB add-on product that makes it possible to quickly build virtual prototypes to explore design concepts at any level of detail. Simulink offers a graphical user interface (GUI) for modelling that allows models to be built as block diagrams. It features a vast library of prefabricated building components that may be assembled graphically using drag-and-drop mouse actions. Instead of spending hours building a model in a lab setting, the user is able to create one that is "up and running." It supports continuous-time, sampled-time, and hybrid models of linear and nonlinear systems.

Benefits of Simulink

Simulink's interactive features encourage experimentation because students learn best when they receive regular feedback. For "what if" exploration, you can change settings "on the fly" and instantly observe what happens. Last but not least, Simulink and MATLAB are interconnected, making it simple to transfer data between them.

Applications of Simulink

These are some typical applications for MATLAB.

• Scientific computations 
• Data analysis, exploration, and visualisation 
• Mathematical computations 
• Algorithm modelling and simulation 
• Application creation using GUI 
• Image processing applications

Steps to Open A Driver Glider Model in Simulink

Click on the below link for the page to download the Driver_Glider model.

https://in.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/63823-matlab-and-simulink-racing-lounge-vehicle-modeling

Once you download the file, you can extract (unzip) the files and save them.

Follow the steps to load  the file in the correct format with all icons and connection diagrams

STEP 1:

Open the MATLAB tool and use the navigation arrow of the current folder to get the Glider model folder in the Current folder list.

 

 

STEP 2: 

Click on (+ sign for Dropdown of the Main folder and click on the drop-down icon of the Simulink folder.

 

STEP 3:

Select the Driver Glider Library.slx file. Double click on it and the file gets opened.

 

 

 

STEP 4:

Click on the lock icon to unlock it. You can see that the opacity of the background also changed when it is unlocked. Then minimize the window and go back to the Matlab command window.

 

STEP 5:

Right Click on the Main folder and Add a path to folders and subfolders of the same.

 

 

STEP 6:

Now go click on the Glider subfolder and double click on the Driver_Glider file to open.

 

 

STEP 7:

The model will be opened without any broken links or images.
