Simulation of Linear Multi-Input/Multi-Output Systems by Piecewise Continuous Input Functions and Various Options for the Graphical Representation of Results

摘要

A FORTRAN program for the simulation of linear continuous systems with multiple inputs and outputs is presented for regulation analysis. The input functions should be treatable as trajectories of ordinary homogeneous linear differential equation systems with constant coefficients. The program flow chart is discussed with emphasis on the initialization phase and the integration over the successive continuity intervals. Subprograms are provided for numerical or graphical presentation of the computed trajectories. The implementation and usage of the program is illustrated in several examples.
