Formula Student
Learn the basics of how to create, edit, and simulate Simulink models through an interactive tutorial. This self-paced, interactive tutorial includes video tutorials and hands-on exercises with automated assessments and feedback.
Get access to the content on the Mathworks Website.
NOTE: The course requires the latest release of MATLAB and access to Simulink – R2018B.
Who is this training for?
Students, engineers, and scientists who are familiar with dynamic systems, but not Simulink.
What will you learn?
After completing Simulink Onramp, you will be able to create, modify, and troubleshoot Simulink models that simulate dynamic systems and perform basic signal analysis.
What are the prerequisites?
A fundamental understanding of MATLAB and dynamic systems is required. You can get started with MATLAB with a free tutorial MATLAB Onramp:
