CAMP-G / SysQuake, an Integrated Environment to Understand Dynamic Systems and Design Controllers

摘要

Understanding a physical system and designing a controller imply two major tasks presented here with an integrated software environment. The first one which occurs even before using a computer, one needs either the transfer function of the controlled "plant", a set of differential equations that describe it, or a block diagram of the system. The second task is the real design and institutive phase. Using a set of physical parameters, one can perform a simulation in the time or in the frequency domain. At this point the question is to satisfy the design requirements. A software package CAMP-G/SysQuake has been developed and integrated to assist in these two important areas. The first task of generating the model, the appropriate differential equations and transfer functions is performed by the bond graph modeling software CAMP-G, with a software interface, the second aspect is accomplished in an intuitive and instantaneous manner, the response in time and frequency domain is performed with SysQuake. Changes to the response due to parameters are instantaneously displayed. Using real time computer graphics. A combination of analysis and synthesis is the result of this development in order to provide a tool, which gives instantaneous insight of what the design would be upon changes of the physical parameters or control gains.
