Abstract

Traditionally, two different classes of computer programs have served control engineers as tools for systems' modeling; non-linear simulation packages and linear CACSD programs. In this paper, we show how non-linear modeling and simulation facilities have been incorporated within the IMPACT linear control environment. A detailed example illustrates the flexibility of this system when dealing with systems having mixed linear and non-linear components.
