Using Model Objects

After you represent your dynamic system as a model object, you can:

• Attach additional information to the model using model attributes (properties). See Model Attributes.

• Manipulate the model using arithmetic and model interconnection operations. See Model Interconnection.

• Analyze the model response using commands such as bode and step. See Linear Analysis.

• Perform parameter studies using model arrays. See Model Arrays.

• Design compensators. You can:

  • Design compensators for systems specified as numeric LTI models. Available compensator design techniques include PID tuning, root locus analysis, pole placement, LQG optimal control, and frequency domain loop-shaping. See PID Controller Tuning, Classical Control Design, or State-Space Control Design.

  • Manually tune many control architectures using Control System Designer. See Classical Control Design.

  • Use tuning commands such as systune or Control System Tuner to automatically tune a control system that you represent as a genss model with tunable blocks. See Multiloop, Multiobjective Tuning.
