The Problem Engineers think in terms of components when developing their system designs. This gives them a problem when trying to get the system model into a computer. ? CONFIDENTIAL © 2007 Maplesoft, a division of Waterloo Maple Inc.

The Problem The Simulink user must break down components into basic flowchart elements… …and enter them into a block diagram that looks nothing like the original representation ? This is often called causal modeling, but the original representation is acausal CONFIDENTIAL © 2007 Maplesoft, a division of Waterloo Maple Inc.

The Problem An acausal approach to engineering modeling is much more intuitive to engineers and easier to use, because the user works at a higher (component) level, and the diagram matches the original representation of the system. ? CONFIDENTIAL © 2007 Maplesoft, a division of Waterloo Maple Inc.

Other Problems • Conversion of most plant models to Simulink (causal) representations is onerous, time-consuming and costly • Performance: Traditional simulation software needs to run a numeric iteration at each timestep, which is timeconsuming and prohibitive for highly complex models. • High software costs CONFIDENTIAL © 2007 Maplesoft, a division of Waterloo Maple Inc.
