5.3Simulation of Linear Systems

Simulink offers the user a variety of approaches when it comes to simulation of linear continuous-time systems. The form of the system model generally dictates the choice of blocks from the “Continuous” sublibrary to be used in the Simulink model. For example, a linear second-order system comprising two first-order systems in series like that shown in Figure 5.13 suggests an overall Simulink model constructed using Simulink models of the individual first-order systems.
