Publisher's Synopsis
A guide to solving engineering problems and simulating the dynamics of linear and nonlinear systems and controllers. Starting with a variety of electrical, mechanical and chemical systems, the book takes the reader 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 interactive simulation environment for modelling the behaviour of linear, nonlinear, continuous, discrete, multirate and hybrid systems. This program 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.
