Modeling and simulation in Scilab/Scicos with ScicosLab 4.4

Scilab is a free open-source software package for scientific computation. It includes hundreds of general purpose and specialized functions for numerical computation, organized in libraries called toolboxes, which cover such areas assimulation, optimization, systems and control, and signal processing. One important Scilab toolbox is Scicos. Scicos provides a block diagram graphical editor for the construction and simulation of dynamical systems. The objective ofthis book is to provide a tutorial for the use of Scilab/Scicos with a special emphasis on modeling and simulation tools. While it will provide useful information to experienced users it is designed to be accessible to beginning users from a variety of disciplines. Students and academic and industrial scientists and engineers should find it useful. The book is divided into two parts. The first part concerns Scilab and includes a tutorial covering the language features, the data structures and specialized functions for doing graphics, importing, exporting data and interfacing external routines. It also covers in detail Scilab numerical solvers for ordinary differential equations and differential-algebraic equations. Even though the emphasis is placed on modeling and simulation applications, this part provides a global view of Scilab. The second part is dedicated to modeling and simulation of dynamical systems in Scicos. This type of modeling tool is widely used in industry because it provides a means for constructing modular and reusable models. This part contains a detailed description of the editor and its usage, which is illustrated through numerousexamples. All codes used in the book is made available to the reader. This new edition includes expanded chapters, new exercises and major rewrites for examples to work with the new Maple. First book to focus on simulation and modeling First book to put a major emphasis on Scicos and discuss it in depth Over 100 illustrations Large number of carefully worked out examples and illustrations Does not presuppose familiarity with Scilab/Scicos Discusses some related aspects of simulation and modeling Provides guidance in the use of Scilab All code used in the book is available on the web INDICE: Part I: General Information.- Introduction to Scilab.- Modeling and Simulation in Scilab.- Optimization.- Examples.- Part II: Introduction.- Getting started.- Scicos formalism.- Scicos Blocks.- Examples and Applications.- Batch processing in Scilab.- Code generation.- Debugging.- Implicit Scicos andModelica.- A Inside Scicos.- B Coding Examples.- References.- Index.
