Trimming a Simulink Model Using the Linear Analysis Tool

[UPDATES] – 21:50 – In newer version of Matlab, this is now called the ‘Model Linearizer’ and is found under the ‘APPS’ tab (access this tab from a Simulink model). This may require installation of the ‘Simulink Control Design Package’ add-on.

In this video we show how to use the Linear Analysis Tool to trim a non-linear Simulink model. This is also known as finding an operating point or an equilibrium point of a system.

Topics and timestamps:
0:00 – Introduction and references to other videos.
0:40 – Review of trimming a dynamic system.
11:18 – Case 1: +y direction at 15 m/s.
43:03 – Case 2: Arbitrary direction at 15 m/s.
53:45 – Case 3: Steady orbit.
1:02:34 – Case 4: +y direction at 10 m/s.
