Visual Simulation with Student VisSim is a comprehensive guide
to solving engineering problems and simulating the dynamics of linear
and nonlinear systems and controllers. Starting with a wide variety
of electrical, mechanical and chemical systems, the book takes readers
through the process of translating these systems into mathematical
equations and then expressing them as block diagrams in Student VisSim.
This program for Windows computers provides an easy-to-use, interactive
simulation environment for modeling the behavior of linear, nonlinear,
continuous, discrete, multi-rate, and hybrid systems. Student VisSim
lets the user select from more than 125 mathematical blocks and toolbox
functions and wire them together using point and click commands. The
program then solves the equations that embody the models and displays
the results live in plots and strip charts.
- Lets users obtain state-space representation
and pole-zero locations for complex systems, and, when frequency
domain analysis is required, generates Bode, root locus, and Nyquist
plots.
- Includes 3.5UT disk for IBM-compatible
computers running Windows 3.1 or higher.
