Description
A step-by-step resource for engineers, this book presents modeling and simulation (M&S) methods applicable to feedback control systems, gives an overview of M&S from a control engineering point of view, applies fundamental methods to practical examples, and proposes practical solutions to common issues found in practice. The content includes numerical algorithms, pseudo-codes, scripts, best practices, and thorough examples for various types of dynamic feedback systems. The M&S of both continuous-time and discrete-time feedback control systems are also covered.
