2. CONFIDENTIAL © 2007 Maplesoft, a division of Waterloo Maple Inc. ? 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.

3. 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

4. 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.

5. 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 time- consuming and prohibitive for highly complex models. High software costs
