This comprehensive collection brings together the most current information on CAD for control systems-including present and future trends in computer-aided design-exploring the areas of modeling, simulation, simulation languages, environments, and design techniques.
Presenting a systems approach to control design using methods from engineering and computer science, CAD for Control Systems illustrates a wide range of industrial case studies that can be used as a benchmark for new control and modeling methods….demonstrates multifaceted strategies to modeling…examines PSI, a block-oriented commercial simulation language, and SPEEDUP, an equation-oriented language for industrial applications…summarizes the internationally accepted MATLAB software and other design packages……outlines different language hardnesses, requirements for databasing and graphics interaction, and algorithmic details for design….and more !
Heavily illustrated and referenced throughout with over 1000 figures, display equations, tables, and bibliographic citations, CAD for Control Systems is an important reference for electrical, electronics, mechanical, computer, industrial, and systems and control engineers; applied mathematicians; computer scientists.
