Course
Objectives
The aim of the course is to provide knowledge and proper techniques for participants on model management and verification in for model-based design implementation in common design workflow.
Who
Must Attend
This hands-on course is designed for intermediate or advanced user of Simulink. It is especially useful for those who want to manage, sharing and verifying Simulink model in a larger. Engineers, researchers, and managers working with systems level design will be shown an easy-to-use approach in using Simulink System Test, Model Advisor, and Simulink Report Generator.
Course
Benefits
Upon the completion of the course, the participants will be able to manage and customize the Simulink environment and determine Simulink model dependencies, optimize model performance, define test cases and verify the results.
Prerequisites
Matlab Fundamentals and Simulink for System and Algorithm Modeling, or equivalent experience with Matlab and Simulink is highly recomended.
