Simulink for Automotive: A practical, intensive workshop on Model-Based Design (MBD) specifically tailored for automotive engineers.

Progress from Simulink foundations to complex branching logic, vector signals, MATLAB Function blocks, and high-fidelity PWM modeling.

Learn to handle both discrete and continuous-time systems, mastering solver selection, zero-crossing detection, and model referencing workflows.

Gain practical experience: Spend ~70% of the course in active labs building reusable component libraries and performing in-depth system dynamics analysis.

How this helps: Confidently structure, simulate, and validate complex vehicle models for integration and production testing.

Who it’s for: Engineers with an automotive or embedded background using Simulink for professional system design.

The curriculum also includes Stateflow integration patterns and specialized verification add-ons.
