The Matlab/Simulink environment
from the MathWorks gained additional
multidomain support with SimScape,
which allows designers to specify the
physical nature of a system instead of the
underlying mathematical equations that
define the system. By doing so, Simulink
can integrate the physical model into the
designer’s domain. Further, SimScape converts
models into C code using Matlab’s
Real-Time Workshop so the simulation can
run models in real time, allowing hardwarein-
the-loop (HIL) testing. SimScape supports
SymHydraulics, SimMechanics, and
SimDriveline, providing pre-built capabilities
for mechanical and hydraulic modeling.
Pricing for SimScape starts at $2000.
