Simulink/Matlab #3

Just heard back from Dr. Coble:

Thank you so much for looking out for our undergrads! In NE 351, they need to do some calculations to populate a couple matrices in MATLAB, use those to run some simulations in Simulink, and then plot the results. I'm happy to work with anyone who wants to try to create some examples or tutorials to help the students on any or all of this. We go through some (non-nuclear) examples in class that may be useful as a starting point (mostly water flowing into tanks).

I don't know a python equivalent of simulink (and I also don't know simulink myself). I found this but I haven't started to chew through it.

The good news is stuff like "do a calculation" and "populate a matrix" are pretty similar in Python and Matlab (I think?)

I personally have never used simulink. When we learned Matlab at GT, it was essentially just the basics of coding that could really be transferred to any language (data types, arrays, loops, conditionals, functions, etc.)

I think the question I would want to ask Coble would be along the lines of why Simulink is being used. Can we see some of the problems, for example?
