00:00:15,050 --> 00:00:18,500
Models are an essential component of simulation.

2
00:00:20,650 --> 00:00:21,100
Before.

3
00:00:21,100 --> 00:00:27,610
A new prototype designed for an automobile braking system on a multi-million dollar aircraft is tested

4
00:00:27,610 --> 00:00:28,480
in the field.

5
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:36,640
It is commonplace to test drive to separate components and the overall system in a simulated environment

6
00:00:36,670 --> 00:00:38,800
based on some form of model.

7
00:00:43,810 --> 00:00:52,930
The word model is a generic term, referring to a conceptual or physical entity that resembles, mimics,

8
00:00:52,930 --> 00:01:00,820
describes, predicts or conveys information about the behaviour of some process or system.

9
00:01:02,430 --> 00:01:09,990
Physical models are often scaled down versions of a larger system of interconnected components, as

10
00:01:09,990 --> 00:01:11,760
in the case of a model airplane.

11
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:23,240
In principle, the behaviour of dynamic systems can be explained by mathematical equations which embody

12
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:30,770
eight her scientific principles or empirical observations or both related to the system.

13
00:01:34,740 --> 00:01:39,330
Modeling is essential to the field of simulation.

14
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:44,130
Indeed, it is the starting point of any simulation study.

15
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:53,800
An engineering system may consist of several different physical types of components belonging to such

16
00:01:53,800 --> 00:02:03,460
physical domains as mechanical, electrical fluid and thermal it stem or multi-domain or mixed system.

17
00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:15,050
Following are a few tasks to help you practice the functions of the system control toolbox that have

18
00:02:15,050 --> 00:02:16,790
already been considered here.

19
00:02:17,420 --> 00:02:19,850
Also, control system has been modeled.

20
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,920
The second step is to examine the system properties.

21
00:02:25,490 --> 00:02:30,920
These are the functions of the system control toolbox, which we'll look at in the next section.
