BlockBuilder from Maplesoft introduces a “First
Principles” physical modeling environment
for Simulink. Engineers can mathematically develop
models of dynamic systems, particularly for plant
control applications, and then implement them
in Simulink as a subsystem block. Featuring the
full power of Maple, the world’s most powerful
mathematical modeling system, BlockBuilder helps
engineers to develop ideas from initial concepts
to high-fidelity physical models, and automatically
generate Simulink S-Function blocks to enhance
and extend their Simulink models.
"Preparing system
models by hand for use in Simulink® can
be laborious and error-prone, often taking
up to 80% of the project time. With BlockBuilder
for Simulink, projects that would have taken
days to complete are turned around in a matter
of hours."
