Simulink blocks represent basic mathematical operations. When we connect Simulink
blocks together, the resulting diagram is equivalent to the mathematical model of the sys-
tem under consideration. The term “Physical Modeling” represents modeling the systems
in a way that you would visualize them physically. This approach lets you describe the
physical structure of a system rather than the underlying mathematics, as we have done in
earlier examples in this chapter. For example, a circuit is seen as combination of different
circuit components or a lift may be visualized ...
